St Lawrence Church is a parish church in the Church of England in Winchester.
It is 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.
The church contains a two manual pipe organ dating from 1882 by Jones and Son of Fulham which was almost completely replaced by George Osmond in 1966. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.
The parish was united with St Maurice's Church in 1904, St Swithun-upon-Kingsgate Church in 1973 and St Bartholomew's Church, Hyde, from 2010.
