St Laurence Church

The church is a mixture of architecture probably dating from the early 12th Century. The first written record of a church at Rowington is contained in a deed of 1157. It is thought that the original Norman church was mostly re-built in the late 13th century, when the present nave and ante-chancel were added. Many more additions and changes have been made to the church over the centuries. Much 18th century work was removed during a major restoration in 1872, although a number of pre-restoration items of furniture remain. The last structural addition was the south porch built in 1906, an earlier porch of brick and timber having been demolished in the 1872 restoration
