St Lawrence

Chapel Chorlton

Staffordshire

Medieval origins, entirely reconstructed in 1826-7 by James Trubshaw Junior.

Architectural Features

Tower: the basic fabric is probably medieval , but the windows, along with the buttresses, parapet with cornice and corner obelisks, are all of 1827

above is a narrow rectangular slit (?medieval) and to the belfry stage 4 openings with plain Y-tracery and wooden louvres.

The west wall on the south side (which protrudes slightly from the tower) appears to be medieval, but all the rest is Trubshaw's work

Good C17 pulpit with blank arches and rosettes above

some C17 woodwork is also incorporated in a prayer desk on the north side of the early C19 altar rails

tub-shaped font (C12?) on a late C19 base

Monuments: brass tablets on the north wall to Francis Carlose and Elizabeth Lander B.O.E., p.96.
