The Anglican Church of St Lawrence, Wick St. Lawrence in the English county of Somerset dates mainly from the 15th century. It has been designated as a Grade II* listed building.[2][1]
The parish Church of Saint Lawrence is built largely of pink or grey Lias limestone combined with other local limestones and sandstones.
The church was struck by lightning in 1791 which caused cracks to open in the tower which was then reinforced with iron bands. Further deterioration required major restoration in 1864–1865 by Foster and Wood of Bristol.
The parish is part of the benefice of Worle within the Diocese of Bath and Wells.[3]
