Situated adjacent to the public park is the remarkable church of St Lawrence, Whitchurch. The name Whitchurch had some currency as an alternative name for this area. The church has a stone tower dating from , but the main body of the church was rebuilt in a unique Continental Baroque style in 1714-16 for Brydges by John James (Colvin). The walls and ceiling of the dramatic interior are covered with paintings. The panels on the ceiling are attributed to Louis Laguerre and show miracles taken mostly from St John's Gospel. The ceiling above the altar depicts the "Adoration of Jehovah". Behind the altar is an imitation sky, lit by a concealed window which is characteristic of the baroque style of continental Europe. The tradition and style suggests that the whole of the ceiling was painted by Louis Laguerre. The paintings of the "Nativity" and the "Descent from the Cross", which are seen on either side of the altar, and the "Transfiguration", which is above the Duke's Pew, are attributed to Antonio Bellucci.
