Summary Description

The large parish church of St Lawrence Without-the-Walls occupies an ancient site just outside the walls of Roman and medieval York, to the east of Walmgate Bar. The present church is Victorian, but the tower of its medieval predecessor still stands immediately to the north, dominating the approach to the church from St Lawrence’s road. It is the largest church in York with the exception of the Minster. The architectural style chosen is Transitional executed with consistency and attention to detail, with much use of tall pointed lancets. This combined with the grey sooty hue the ragstone has acquired over the years gives the church quite a stern appearance
