Warkworth St Lawrence parish web page

The church of St. Lawrence, an ancient stone edifice, in the Norman and Perpendicular styles, consists of tower, with spire 100 feet high, containing 2 bells and clock, chancel, nave, south porch, and south aisle, in which a handsome stained glass memorial window has been placed by Middleton Dand, esq., and there are memorial windows to the Clutterbuck, Smith, and Forster families; there is also an ancient recumbent effigy, supposed to represent a Crusader. The register dates from the year [blank!]. The living is a vicarage, commuted at £528 yearly, with residence, in the gift of the Bishop of Carlisle, and held by the Rev. John Woodham Dunn, B.A., of Queen's College, Cambridge. [Kelly's Directory of Northumberland and Durham (1873), page 685.]
