St Lawrence's Church, is a redundant church in St Benedict's Street, Norwich. It is designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. Link
It is under the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It stands on a sloping site between Westwick Street and St Benedict's Street.
The church was built between 1460 and 1472. It was restored in 1893, during which a corner turret was added to the tower. Towards the end of the 19th century the size of the congregation declined, and in 1903 its parish was united with that of St Gregory's. The church closed finally in 1968.
