About Us

The church of St Lawrence is a Grade II listed building and stands on the summit of Napton Hill in the middle of a small churchyard to the north of the village. A local legend tells us, that the church was to have been built where the present village green is located. However, the stones which lay there ready for building were found to have been taken overnight to the top of the hill, and as a consequence the builders decided to erect the church where the Spirits had dictated.

Our church is more than just a building though and our church community is a team effort, with a large percentage of the congregation involved in all aspects of church life.

We have excellent links with the village and we get immersed in local events to keep a church presence active.
