St Laurence's Church, Bradford-on-Avon

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

St Laurence's Church, Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire, is one of relatively few Saxon churches left standing in England.

The church is dedicated to St Laurence, and may have been founded by Saint Aldhelm around 700. It could have been a temporary burial site for King Edward the Martyr. It was re-discovered in the 19th century, having been used for residential and other secular purposes for many years.
