Wick St Lawrence stands at an altitude of about 9m on a modest outcrop of Blue Lias (between outcrops to either side on Middle Hope and on the NE edge of Milton Hill), between the rivers Yeo and Banwell. ‘Wick’ seems to have had the specialised sense of ‘dairy-farm’. The church of St Lawrence consists of nave, chancel, S porch, N vestry and W tower. It dates from the 15thc (including a pulpit relocated from Woodspring Priory) and was largely rebuilt and heavily restored following a lightning strike in 1791 by Foster and Wood of Bristol in 1864-65. It The font is Romanesque.
