Title: St Laurence's Church, Upton, Slough. 1905 [Go to resource]
Description: In a charter of 1156 Henry II gave the church to Merton Priory who then became rectors of the church. The church was built in brown stone at the begining of the 12th century. The nave and tower date to 1100 and the nave was lengthened and the chancel added by Merton Priory in 1160. According to Pevsner this is, apart from the addition of a 19th century aisle, a perfect example of a Norman parish church with a fine rib-vaulted chancel of two bays. There are also some fine 19th century stained glass windows by Willement and Kempe.
