Free church parking with accessible bay, short-stay limit, and convenient access to St Marys Church in Lawford.
Church Car Park is a small community facility managed by Tendring District Council, located beside St Marys Church in Lawford. The lot offers 25 sealed gravel bays, including one accessible space adjacent to the church entrance ramp. Parking is free but limited to a two-hour maximum stay, enforced by volunteer wardens from the parish council to ensure availability during services and events. Solar-powered LED bollard lights line pedestrian paths from dusk until 9 pm, and no CCTV is installed due to low traffic. Covered notice boards at the entrance display church service times, local community notices, and bus timetables to Manningtree. Monthly maintenance includes gravel replenishment, line repainting of bay markers, and litter collection to maintain a tidy, respectful environment for worshippers and visitors.
