The church of St. Lawerence was rebuilt in the 19th century. The earlier building was dedicated to St. Peter in 1925, but the modern dedication was in use by 1461. Before the 19th century, the church comprised chancel, nave with south porch and west tower. The chancel was in disrepair in 1575. The tower was rebuilt in brick in 1829 and other parts of the building then repaired, the church was rebuilt in 1876 to designs by Hugh Roumieu Gough of London. It is of bright red brick with a red tile roof, it is 1th century in style, and has an urban character. It comprises of chancel, north-east tower with a saddleback roof, north vestry and nave with south porch. The fittings include a drum-shaped medival font and a lectern formerly belonging to a Hull church and given in 1959. There were two bells in 1552 and later, by 1910 there was one. The plate includes a cup made in 1784, two patens one of 1763 and a flagon of 1848. The registers of baptisms, marriages, and burials date from 1538 and have been printed to 1728. Those of baptisms are complete, marriages largely so and burials lack only a few years in the mid 17th century and early 18th. Part of the churchyard was closed for burial in 1931
