Roger Sweet's Pictures of Bessels Leigh

St. Lawrence's Church, Bessels Leigh

St. Lawrence's unfortunately is no longer in use. Parts of the building date from the Norman period although the church was rebuilt in the latter part of the 13th century. The church is close to the location of the former manor house which is now demolished and only the gate posts now remain.
