St Lawrence's Church - Explore!
St Lawrence lies in the heart of the Castle Rising village and can be seen from Castle Rising and the surrounding countryside. It was begun by William d'Albini, Earl of Sussex, shortly after he initiated work on the castle in 1138. The old church at the castle was demolished, thus making it right that he found a new one.
The church makes extensive use of local umber coloured sandstone (Carrstone). Of particular note are the central tower and the north entrance. I particularly like the blue clock on the lower portion of the tower.
