The {{convert|26|m|ft|adj=mid|-high}} triangular Lawrence Tower, now known as the [[Haldon Belvedere]],<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.haldonbelvedere.co.uk/Haldon_Belvedere_-_Home_Page_.html |title=Haldon Belvedere - Home Page |access-date=2009-07-21 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110903180746/http://www.haldonbelvedere.co.uk/Haldon_Belvedere_-_Home_Page_.html |archive-date=3 September 2011 }}</ref> was erected in 1788 to Lawrence's memory by Sir Robert Palk of [[Haldon House]], where Lawrence had spent his retirement as a guest.

In the centre of the tower's ground floor stands a statue made of [[Coade stone]] similar to the one in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, and on the walls are three large inscribed tablets recounting Lawrence's career.{{efn|Illustrations of these tablets and transcriptions of the text can be seen on Wikimedia Commons: [[c:File:Tablet_1_LawrenceTower_HaldonHouse_Devon.PNG|tablet 1]], [[c:File:Tablet_2_LawrenceTower_HaldonHouse_Devon.PNG|tablet 2]], and [[c:File:Tablet_3_LawrenceTower_HaldonHouse_Devon.PNG|tablet 3]]}} There is also a reproduction of the [[Thomas Gainsborough]] portrait in the National Portrait Gallery in London.

Lawrence was buried in St Michael's Church, Dunchideock, the parish church of Haldon House, where Palk erected a mural monument to him. Like the larger monument in Westminster Abbey, this was also by William Tyler.<ref>''A Short Guide for the Visitor to St Michael's Church Dunchideock'', current 2015, p.5</ref> It contains a marble profile (see photograph in the gallery below) and three inscriptions.{{efn|Further details of the monument, including transcripts of the inscriptions, can be seen on [[c:File:StringerLawrence MuralMonument DunchideockChurch Devon.PNG|the photograph's page]] on Wikimedia Commons}}
