Everything about Wick St Lawrence totally explained
Wick St. Lawrence is a
civil parish and village in the
unitary authority of
North Somerset. Its population in the 2001 census was 1,296.
The village lies on a small creek known as Slutspill near the
River Yeo which was inundated in the
Bristol Channel floods, 1607. The last wharf on the river was pier and spur of the old
Weston, Clevedon and Portishead Railway which was torn up during
World War I. For a short period after this coal was imported from south Wales on its own 33 ton vessel the
Lily, until it sunk in a gale in 1929.
The parish has seen a vast increase in population in recent years, due to the building of the Ebdon Grounds housing development. This is an extension of the development of the neighbouring North
Worle area, and the village itself remains separate from the new estate.
The parish is in the unitary authority
ward of Kewstoke, and in the parliamentary constituency of
Weston-super-Mare.
