Description	:	The former church of St Lawrence, East Donyland, was built in the 12th or 13th century. In the late 1830s the then Rector felt that the church was too small for the parish and too distant from the settlement of Rowhedge a mile away. The new church opened in 1840 after which the old church was demolished. The former churchyard remained and burials continued for some years. Later, woodland adjacent to the churchyard was cleared and became a municipal burial ground. Nothing remains of the old church.
