Saint Lawrence's Church (Denton)

United Kingdom / England / Denton / Town Lane, 131
 Grade II* Listed (UK), anglican church
A timber-framed building dating from at least 1531. One of only 29 of this once common medieval style of church buildings remaining in England and Wales. Originally it was neither a parish church nor dedicated to St. Lawrence; it began as a chapel of ease dedicated to St. James. It became a parish church under the name St. Lawrence in 1839. It is known locally as:either the Th'owd Peg, because of the wooden pegs used to join the timbers or the black and white church (for obvious reasons). Grade II* Listed-Adapted from Geograph & Wikipedia.
