Waltham St Lawrence, centred around its cattle pond, is one of the most westerly parishes in the borough.
There are many picturesque buildings in the small village, including the timber-framed Bell Inn. A plaque on the side of this historic public house explains how Ralph Newbery, citizen and stationer of London, bequeathed the Bell Inn for the benefit of the Parish of Waltham St Lawrence in 1608.
Parts of the adjacent parish church of St Lawrence, mentioned in the Domesday Book, date back 850 years.
A splendid lychgate provides access to the churchyard and towering over this is a vast yew tree, planted in 1635.
