St Lawrence's Church, York
St Lawrence Parish Church is an active Anglican church in York, England. It is situated in Lawrence Street, just outside Walmgate Bar.
== History ==
It is dedicated to St Lawrence, possibly in deliberate reference to the Basilica of Saint Lawrence outside the Walls, in Rome. The tower of the old church building remains in the churchyard – the doorway and lower half date to the 12th-century. This tower is now cared for by the Churches Conservation Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Complete list of churches )〕 The oldest gravestones in the churchyard lie on the site of the demolished nave and chancel, and include tombs of the Heskeths and Yarburghs of Heslington Hall.
The parish was united with that of St Nicholas after that church was destroyed in the Siege of York. St Lawrence was also severely damaged, but was rebuilt at the Restoration, and silver and furniture from c.1669 remain. Sir John Vanbrugh married Henrietta Maria Yarburgh here on a snowy day in 1719.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The York Book of Days )〕 The churchyard contains the 1830 Rigg Memorial – built by public subscription for six children who died in a boating accident, with an epitaph by James Montgomery – and the 1820 'medicine pot' memorial to Dr Oswald Allen (who ran the York Dispensary charity) and his wife.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A forgotten tragedy: Rigg family monument )〕 These monuments, together with the tower, are Grade I listed.
The old church was demolished in 1881-3 in order to build a much larger building, the second-largest religious building in York after York Minster. It is the leading work of J.B.Hall of Canterbury. The spire was added in 1891-3, with an illuminated clock given in memory of his parents by Alderman Robert Fawcett.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC – Your Paintings – Alderman Robert Fawcett )〕 The church contains the elaborate c.1400 font, moved from the old church. Much of the stained glass was produced by the Knowles family of Stonegate, including the recently restored east window. There is a very unusual and large art deco First World War memorial window depicting the Somme battlefield, the city of York, and a knight and grail cup, designed in 1929 by Joan Fulleylove. The chancel area was remodelled by Robert 'Mousey' Thompson of Kilburn as a Second World War memorial. The church has otherwise been little altered.
