St Lawrence's Church, Gothic Revival church building in Barton, England
St Lawrence's Church is a Gothic Revival building in Barton featuring pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses characteristic of this 19th-century style. The structure displays careful stonework throughout its exterior and interior spaces.
Architect Richard Knill Freeman designed this church, which opened in 1896 as a new religious structure in Barton. The building was constructed during the height of the Gothic Revival movement in England.
The Grade II listed status of St Lawrence's Church recognizes its contribution to England's architectural heritage and ensures its preservation for future generations.
The church sits on Church Street and is easy to reach on foot. Visitors should check opening times in advance, especially if planning to attend services or spend quiet time inside.
The building's stained glass windows feature intricate patterns that filter natural light in striking ways. This craftsmanship becomes particularly noticeable when sunlight streams directly through the panes during different times of the day.
