St Lawrence, Mereworth, Kent - 20th April 2008

Sadly this church was locked, despite it being a Sunday afternoon, so external pictures of this very fine and unusual 18th century church must suffice.   The church was rebuilt completely by the Earl of Westmorland in 1746, about half a mile north west of its original position.  The portico and wide overhang of the roof are distinguishing features.

A poor picture into the sun from the north east.  The tower, which Pevsner says is copied from that at St Martin-in-the Fields, contains six bells.

And finally a view from the south west.
