Elmbridge is a place to live rather than to book, so the stay belongs in Gloucester, about two miles nearer the centre than the Church of St Lawrence stands. The distance is short.

About Elmbridge
What are the main landmarks in Elmbridge?
The Church of St Lawrence is the single entry on Elmbridge's register, which makes the suburb one of the leaner stops for anyone working through Gloucester's listed buildings. No museum and no fort. St Lawrence carries the dedication, and everything else a visitor might list here belongs to Gloucester itself rather than to the suburb around the church.
Gloucestershire supplies the wider frame. Elmbridge sits about two miles out from the centre of Gloucester, close enough that its one church reads as part of the city's fabric rather than a separate village.
What is the history of Elmbridge?
Elmbridge carries no founding year and no charter on its record, and the Church of St Lawrence is the only fixed point the suburb's past can be hung on. The dedication is to St Lawrence. Gloucester grew outward until the ground about two miles from its centre became Elmbridge, a suburb of the city rather than a place with a separate written history.
Gloucestershire holds both. England's county structure puts Gloucester and Elmbridge in the same administrative frame, and the church remains the one built survivor named in the suburb's own entry.
Where is Elmbridge?
The suburb lies roughly two miles out from Gloucester's centre, inside the county of Gloucestershire in England, with the Church of St Lawrence on its register.
