Welcome to St Lawrence

Welcome to St Lawrence Parish Church, York. We are a Prayer Book-Catholic Church near the University of York, outside Walmgate Bar on Lawrence Street. Our principal Sunday service is our 10:15am Parish Mass. On Sunday evening, we have Choral Evensong at 6:30pm sung by our choir during university term time.

WW1 Memorial Window Restoration Appeal

We are restoring the stained glass window installed in 1931 in memory of Lt Harpley, who died in 1916 at the Somme. The window, designed by Joan Fulleylove, requires major restoration works and we have been fundraising the £80,000 estimated cost of the project, with talks, events, and donation drives.

If you can help us restore this important Arts and Crafts memorial to the fallen of the First World War, donate through CAF Online – search “St Lawrence, York” – or contact us, for details of other ways to support the project.
