St Laurence and All Saints Church stands in the parish of Eastwood near Southend-on-Sea, Essex, a Grade I listed medieval structure built around 1150 in the Norman architectural style. Regarded as one of the finest small medieval churches in South Essex, it exhibits exceptional architectural and archaeological significance, with notable features including a Norman font, original doors with period fittings, and medieval woodwork such as a priest's room. The church's complex plan form and development reflect its historical importance, while its archaeological site possesses considerable potential significance. Its location adjacent to London Southend Airport has rendered it vulnerable to expansion proposals threatening the building.
