The presence of both Little and Great Waldingfield St. Lawrence churches is attributed to the historical dedication of the church to St. Lawrence, a common practice among 18th-century antiquarians who restored medieval dedications. This practice likely led to the dedication of both churches to St. Lawrence, despite the differences in their architectural styles and historical significance. The churches' dedication to St. Lawrence reflects the broader Christian tradition of honouring saints and the importance of religious devotion in the local community.
