St. Laurence’s Church, Long Eaton, is a Grade II* listed[1] parish church in Long Eaton, England.[2]
History
The church dates from the 12th century. It was largely rebuilt between 1868 and 1869 by the architect George Edmund Street. The old church was made to form the south aisle. A north aisle, nave and chancel were added in the same style as the old building. The contractor was Mr Hunt of Long Eaton. The pews were replaced with open seating. A new pulpit was carved by Thomas Earp. Two stained glass windows by Ward and Hughes were inserted in the chancel, and a window by Hardman & Co. was inserted in the south aisle. The cost of the works was £3,000 (equivalent to £247,500 in 2021) [3] and the church re-opened on 26 August 1869.[4]
The chancel roof was decorated in 1936 by Wystan Widdows.
Originally a chapel of ease to All Saints' Church, Sawley, it became an independent parish in the 19th century.
It is a Forward in Faith parish.
Organ
The pipe organ dates from 1896 when an instrument was installed by Brindley & Foster. There were subsequent modifications to this in 1951 by Henry Willis and 1986 by the Johnson Organ Company. Details of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[5]
