Welcome to our Parish
Welcome to the website of the Parish of Abbots Langley in Hertfordshire.
Here you will be able to find something about the worship, activities, purpose, and the history of the Anglican Church in the Parish of Abbots Langley, which is part of the Diocese of St Albans within the Church of England.
St Lawrence Church is open seven days a week, from 9.30 am to 5.45 pm Monday to Saturday, and from 7.45 am to 7.00 pm on Sundays. Coffee, tea and hot chocolate are available in the Breakspear Room every Tuesday between 10.15 am and 12.15 pm - access is via St Lawrence Church or the door directly into the Breakspear Room with easy access for the disabled or buggies (the Breakspear Room is round the back of the church on the north side).

We are holding our Stewardship Campaign during the month of May - more details can be found here. It especially talks about planned giving - this is a way of regular giving to the church so that the Finance Committee can plan a budget and payments throughout the year.
The Archbishops of Canterbury and York have written a pastoral letter prior to the forthcoming General Election. You can find it here.
