On the patronage of this church dedicated to "Saint LAWRENCE": He is one of the early Christian Roman martyrs from a time when Christianity was still strictly forbidden. He was archdeacon of Pope Sixtus II and after his execution was ordered by the pagan emperor Valerian to hand over the treasure of the church to him. Laurentius asked for three days to do this, distributed the church's assets among the poor inhabitants of Rome and, after the agreed time, came to the emperor with the poor to present them to him as the treasure of the church. He was then tortured to death. Legend has it that he was roasted alive on a grate - this attribute can be seen in many depictions of Saint Lawrence - over coals. He is said to have been in good spirits and asked his executioner if he would turn him over. The memorial day of Saint Lawrence in the calendar of saints is August 10, the recorded date of his execution in A.D. 258.

Rather than the thatched, centuries-old villages that often punctuate this area, Nuneham Courtenay is quite different. The village consists of identical brick, semi-detached cottages with newer houses built in the same style. This is because the village was relocated (in name and population) from where Nuneham Park is now. The old village was knocked down in the 18th century to make room for the grand estate's landscaped parkland.
