Church of St Martin, Wareham - T E Lawrence effigy (3) The effigy of T. E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia). Sculpted by his friend Eric Kennington, it was reputedly rejected by Westminster Abbey, St Paul&#039;s and Salisbury Cathedrals as being too controversial. Lawrence was killed in a motorcycle accident near his home at Cloud&#039;s Hill in 1935, and lies buried in the separate graveyard of St Nicholas Church at Moreton.
