St Lawrence Church, Corner of Town Lane and Stockport Road, Denton, Greater Manchester, M34 6AD
St Lawrence's Church is a timber-framed building dating from 1531 at the most conservative estimate. Only 29 of this type of common medieval building remain in England and Wales.
Originally the timber-framed structure was neither a parish church nor dedicated to St. Lawrence. It began as a chapel of ease (a type of half-way house) for the medieval manor of Denton within the Parish of Manchester, dedicated to St. James.
It became a parish church under the name St. Lawrence in 1839, and is still has an active worshipping community.
St Lawrence's Church continues to be a key focal point of the local area, it is known locally as
Th'owd Peg, because of the wooden pegs used to join the timbers
The black and white church for obvious reasons
