St Lawrence's Church, East Rounton

A church was built in the village, probably in the 15th century; it was a small stone building.

[1] In 1885, Lowthian Bell commissioned Robert James Johnson to rebuild the church.

He retained only parts of the north wall, including a lancet window and doorway, and perhaps the east end of the building.

The north window is a memorial to Gertrude Bell and depicts scenes relating to her life: a monk, Magdalen College, the Matterhorn, a woman in Arabic dress, the Al-Kazimiyya Mosque, and a camel train, along with Arabic text taken from a poem by Hafez.

Inside, there is an exposed timber truss roof, two aedicules in the Baroque style, believed to have been relocated from Newcastle Cathedral, and a gallery at the west end.
