HOW TO REMEMBER US IN YOUR WILL
St Lawrence Chapel Warminster is independent of the Church of England and has been owned by the town since 1575.
We are entirely reliant on donations, grants, fund raising by the Friends of the Chapel, bequests and rental income from Curfew cottage (Situated to the rear of the Chapel)
​
The Chapel supports a wide range of religious, civic, community and charity events.

We need your support to protect and develop this much loved Chapel in the heart of Warminster for future generations.
