St Laurence's Churchyard, Upminster (also known as Upminster Parish Church)

Introduction

The churchyard is enclosed by 19th-century railings and a 20th-century brick wall and is densely planted with mature trees, including two avenues of yew and more recent flowering species, long grass and shrubs. The oldest remaining memorials in the churchyard are four headstones against the outer walls to the north, one of 1695, the others early-18th century. There are also several good examples of 18th- and 19th-century table tombs and a War Memorial.
