It is likely that a church has stood on this site since 1100, or even earlier. The first mention of the church is in the charter of 1285, and its first rector was Richard de Clyne in 1291. The present church dates from the 14th and mid-15th centuries. It was restored twice in the 19th century and again in the 20th century. In 1944, a German flying bomb landed in the churchyard, causing considerable damage to the church which was put out of action until 1957. Part of the flying bomb can be seen on the south side at the back of the church. St Laurence sits in the centre of an extensive churchyard which contains four Commonwealth war graves.
