In 2012, she moved the church from Cupar to where it now sits. It was once her grandfather, Reverend William H Tingey's first parish, St. Mary's Anglican Church. Lawrence paid to have it moved to a temporary location beside her home in the valley. She intended for its location only to be temporary.
