History.
Dating back to the 9th Century and spanning the millennia, St Lawrence’s is home to a rich historic tapestry of beautiful features. There is a Norman font, medieval sedilia (priest’s seats), piscina (basin) and tomb recess, Tudor brass effigies, pulpit and stocks from the Elizabethan period, Georgian choir stalls, Victorian pews and lectern and early 20th century stained glass (with inserts of older Tudor work). Besides its peal of six bells, there is also a genuine ship’s bell (from HMS Bigbury Bay), which was blessed in the church at the end of World War II.
The church is a precious asset which sits at the heart of Bigbury and relies on the ongoing support of the community to ensure it’s here for future generations.
