51°03′45″N 1°18′54″W / 51.0625°N 1.3149°W / 51.0625; -1.3149 St Lawrence Church is a town church, just off the High Street, in Winchester, England. It is probably of Norman origin, and is said to have been the chapel of William the Conqueror's palace (built 1069-70, destroyed 1141). The church is now almost wholly surrounded by adjacent buildings. It is recorded as being restored in 1475-7, in 1672 (the present roof dates from this restoration), 1847-8, 1881, and 1979-80.

St Lawrence Church is a Grade II listed building.[1]
