Goring – St Laurence

A church was first built at a cost of £1500 in 1936 as a chapelry in the parish of St Mary, to serve the eastern part of the parish, as it remains today (information from church website).  It consists of a plain single space with brick walls and a pitched roof, the trusses of which are exposed inside.  The windows are set high and domestic in nature and only a cross on the gable shows the purpose of the building.  Outside, the church is less conspicuous from the road than the hall built in 1962 and extended in 1969 (ibid).
