The parish church of St Laurence in Northfield, now a suburb of Birmingham, dates from the 12th century with the oldest surviving part being a round headed doorway from about 1170. The church chancel was built in the 13th century as is the south aisle which replaced an earlier one. A north aisle was a 1900 addition but in the same style.
The upper part of the tower is 15th century, a rebuild of the original. The church is built from sandstone.
