The Church of Saint Laurence,
Brafield on the Green
St Laurence
St. Laurence
Look over the porch on the South side, approached by the main path through the Churchyard. There we see a small statue of St. Laurence, with his instrument of torture, the Gridiron. Notice also that he is depicted wearing a garment known as a Dalmatic. This is the characteristic garment of the Deacon. St. Laurence was the chief Deacon of the Church in Rome.
Some of the capitals on the columns are worth close inspection. The one nearest the Font has carvings of foliage in which lies a serpent.
