St Lawrence's Church, is the parish church of Marston St. Lawrence, Northamptonshire, England. It is a Grade I listed building.
The parish is a member of the Chenderit Benefice, which includes the parishes of Chacombe, Greatworth, Middleton Cheney, Thenford and Warkworth.[1]
Much of the architecture is Decorated Gothic, including the chancel arch and the arcades to both the north and south aisles.[2] The north arcade is of four bays and was built in the 13th century.[2] The Perpendicular Gothic east window of the chancel was added in the second half of the 14th century.[2] One of the aisles was also rebuilt in Perpendicular Gothic, and the bell tower was added late in the Perpendicular period[2] (15th or early 16th century). There are two carved wooden screens: a Perpendicular one to the north chapel and a very well-carved Jacobean one of about 1610 to the tower.[2]
Organ
There is a 20th-century organ made by the Manchester builder Jardine and Co. It was relocated to Marston St Lawrence at the beginning of the 21st century. Its original home was in Skelmersdale.[3]
