Moreton

Lawrence's Grave

Lawrence is buried in the parish churchyard in Moreton. It is a quiet rural setting and just a very short walk from the church of St Nicholas and St Magnus where his funeral was held on May 21 1935.  The funeral was attended by Winston Churchill, other eminent friends, and friends from his Service days.

St Nicholas Church

The church received a direct hit from a fleeing German bomber in World War 2 which destroyed the stained glass windows. These were replaced by clear glass engraved by Laurence Whistler, giving a unique atmosphere and a worthy addition to your visit to Moreton.

Morton Tea Rooms

The nearby Moreton Tea Rooms contain a room of Lawrence images, while the bier which carried his coffin is currently serving duty as a cake stand!
