Hello Karen,

Yes, St Lawrences Church is still standing and in use in Evesham. It stands
in the grounds of the former Abbey and there is a graveyard attached,
although alot of the stones are worn and illegible. Interestingly the church
was (according to the history) out of use between 1800-1837 because the roof
fell in, and parishoners had to use All Saints Church, next door. (Originally
there had been two churches built next to each other because Evesham was a
place of pilgrimage for the sick, who were cared for by the monks - there was
one church for the locals, and another for the sick)

Hope this helps.

Julie
