The church of St Lawrence in Bradwell dates back 800 years and since then the building has undergone many changes. The church is located by the Manor Farm and the remains of the 13c Motte and Baily castle. It is very near to Bradwell Abbey but there was no relationship between the two. The earliest part of the church is the South Arcade, dating from around 1210, with interesting round piers and carved capitals. The Aisle was enlarged around 1260 when the Chancel was probably rebuilt. The W Tower was added around 1380. Restoration work was done in 1867-8, which included re-roofing the church. Another project followed in 1903, the latter by the local Architect Edward Swinfen Harris. Both of these schemes were heavily influenced by members of the Baily family, whose tombs can be found by the south wall of the church St Lawrence is Grade II listed.
