<span class="mw-page-title-main">Parish of St Lawrence</span> Cadastral in New South Wales, Australia

St Lawrence Parish is one of the 57 parishes of Cumberland County, New South Wales, Australia, a cadastral unit for use on land titles. It is one of the four small parishes in the Sydney city area. Unlike the other three parishes, St Lawrence was not named after a New Testament saint but after St Lawrence, the second Bishop of Canterbury, successor to St Augustine of Canterbury, presumably very familiar to Bishop Broughton from his time in Canterbury. The church in the parish was dedicated by the bishop as Christ Church. Later, as it became more "tractarian" and Anglo-Catholic, the name of the parish was added to that of the church. However, by then, St Lawrence was understood to refer to the only saint of that name in the Book of Common Prayer, St Lawrence, of Rome, and St Laurence of Rome has since been considered the patron saint of the church..
