Church of St Lawrence, Warkworth, Grade I listed church in Warkworth, England

The Church of St Lawrence features a west tower from 1200, a belfry and spire from 1350, and a south aisle constructed in the 15th century.

A wooden Anglo-Saxon church occupied this location in 737 when King Ceolwulf of Northumbria granted Wercewode and the church to Lindisfarne monks.

The nave stands as the longest Norman architectural example in Northumberland, measuring 90 feet and containing a pulpit with five panels by Alfred Southwick.

The church remains open during daylight hours, with parking available within 250 meters and a bus stop located within 100 meters of the entrance.

Medieval stone coffins rest near the former priests' door leading to the chancel, while the exterior displays a clock dating from 1875.
