The St. Lawrence heritage trails come in two parts. This one is the Village Trail (2.5k/1.6 miles) which involves walking on busy roads. Allowing time to view the buildings, and to enter and explore the two churches, this trail will take 2 hours.
There is a separate trail leaflet for the Coastal Footpath Trail.
These heritage trails relate some of the history of St. Lawrence through its remaining buildings. In Norman times the area was used as a hunting park and Old Park dates back to the 14th Century. The old church dates to the 12th Century and may have some earlier Saxon elements. Home Farm could be the site of the Norman manor house.
