The Chancel from under the central tower, St. Laurence Church, Ramsgate. However, the area in Thanet where the Church is situated is known as St. Lawrence. If anyone can tell me whether they are connected or it just comes down to spelling at an earlier time, I would be grateful. The early parts of this Church were built of Caen stone, as was Canterbury Cathedral.
Later additions are in flint, the local stone.
The original Church consisted of the present nave and a tower. The side aisles and the chancel were later additions in the 12th and 13th Centuries. The tower was later severely damaged in a storm in 1439 when it was struck by lightening. It was extensively repaired and heightened at the same time. Queen Victoria worshipped here as a young girl and the East window remembers these visits with an inscription at the bottom of the window.
