Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a church built between 1931 and 1932 by the architects Welch, Cachemaille-Day, and Lander, with an enlargement in 1964. It is constructed of buff brick in English bond, and features a nave and apsidal chancel combined into one space, along with a south aisle, a central square tower, a north transept, and a south-east vestry and porch. The church is designed in a Continental Modernist style and is a tall structure with a semi-circular east end. The square tower is centrally located, with a semi-circular apse on its south side, a shallow aisle to the east, and a low flat-roofed vestry and porch in the south-east corner. The walls are generally smooth, except for the aisle, which is divided into three bays by plain piers. The clerestory features horizontal raised bands, and the upper stages of the tower have raised banding at the top of the apse and vertical raised banding on the square belfry stage.

The windows are mostly tall, narrow rectangles of various sizes, with geometrical metal glazing bars. The tower has three small windows at ground level and three larger ones near the top. The aisle includes square windows for a low corridor at ground level and very tall windows above, with vertical banding over them. The nave has small clerestory windows, and there are no other windows west of the tower except for these. The north side has fenestration that matches the aisle, and there is a square projection opposite the tower resembling a transept. The porch features a zig-zag front wall and funnelled entry with zig-zag sides. There is a short modern extension at the west end, which includes a large west window made of heavy chamfered concrete mullions and transoms.

While the interior has not been inspected, it is reported to have white walls, a flat ceiling, and a raised Lady Chapel in the apse accessed by two staircases flanking a brick-faced altar wall, with a pulpit and lectern designed as simple brick cubes. The church is noted as "a milestone in the history of modern church architecture in England" according to Pevsner.
