Edward Lawrence or Laurence (1623–1695) was an English ejected minister. In 1654. After preaching for a time, in 1648 Lawrence was made vicar of Baschurch in Shropshire, near his native place. Declining offers of preferment, he remained there till 1662, when he was ejected by the Acting of Uniformity.
After his ejection he resided with a gentleman in the parish of Baschurch till March 1666, when the Five Miles Acting necessitated a move, and he settled at Tilstock, a village in Whitchurch.
The incident was reported in the House of Commons, and with others of a similar nature provoked a proclamation against papists and nonconformists (18 February 1668), which was issued accordingly. In May 1670, when living at Whitchurch, and preaching one Sunday afternoon at the house of a neighbour, to his family and four friends, he was arrested by Doctor Fowler, the minister of Whitchurch, under the Conventicle Acting.
Lawrence and four others were fined. This affair caused Lawrence to take his family to London in May 1671, where he remained, preaching in his meetinghouse near the Royal Exchange and elsewhere.
Lawrence died in November 1695, known as a minister troubled at the divisions of the church.
He is often mentioned in Philip Henry"s diary. Nathaniel, born 28 April 1670, became nonconformist minister at Banbury.
