Clyst St Lawrence is a village about eight miles north-east of the city of Exeter in Devon, and within that county's Cliston Hundred. In 2001 its population was recorded as 105, little changed from the 113 people who lived there in 1901.[1]
This is one of six parishes named after the River Clyst, which meanders through this area. The distinguishing element of its name is from the dedication of the church to St Lawrence.
The parish church, St Lawrence,[2] was founded in 1203 or earlier and it retains its granite font of that date.[1]
