Church of St Lawrence

About

St Lawrence's Church (St Laurence) is a Grade II listed church in Ecchinswell, Hampshire, England, in the rural deanery of Whitchurch, within the Diocese of Winchester, designed by Bodley & Garner, 1885–87, at a time when Ninian Comper was their articled pupil, 1883-1887. It has 200 sittings. The Grade II listed lychgate, also designed by Bodley & Garner, was added in honour of William Howley Kingsmill (1838-1894) in 1895.

St Lawrence's is the parish church for the villages of Ecchinswell, Bishop's Green, and Sydmonton. The long and thin parishes of Sydmonton and Ecchinswell stretch from the River Enborne and the county boundary in the north to the Port Way, the Roman road that ran from Silchester to Old Sarum, in the south.
