St Lawrence's Church is an Anglican Church and the parish church of Long Buckby. It is a Grade II* listed building[1] and stands on the north side of Church Street.

There is no reference to a church or priest in the entry for Long Buckby in the Domesday Book.[2]

The main structure of the present building is medieval, with restoration in 1862 by George Gilbert Scott and in 1883–87 by William Bassett-Smith. The church consists of a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, south porch and west tower. A detailed description appears on the Historic England website.[1]

The parish registers survive from 1558, the historic registers being deposited at Northamptonshire Record Office.[3]
