New Saint Lawrence Church, Neoclassical church in Ayot St Lawrence, England
The New Saint Lawrence Church features a front portico with columns and screens, accommodating 120 people in its Greek cross plan interior layout.
Sir Lionel Lyde commissioned the church in 1778, using profits from trade to replace an older church that blocked views from his mansion.
Architect Nicholas Revett incorporated design elements from his studies of Greek structures, creating a distinct interpretation of neoclassical architecture.
The church maintains an active schedule with monthly services and remains open to visitors interested in exploring its architectural features.
Two separate mausoleums stand next to the church for Sir Lionel Lyde and his wife Rachel, reflecting their desire for separation in death.
