Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church located in Hollym, with its tower built in 1814 by William Hutchinson and the remainder of the church completed in 1884 by James Demaine. The tower is constructed of grey brick, while the nave is made of yellow brick with ashlar and red brick dressings. It features a Westmorland slate roof.

The church has a west tower with a west door, a 4-bay nave, and a 3-bay chancel with a vestry adjoining the south side. The tower has a chamfered ashlar-capped plinth and is designed in three stages. It includes two steps leading to a round-arched entrance with a double board door and a radial fanlight set in a round-arched recessed panel, which has an ashlar keystone inscribed with the word "BUILT". There is an ashlar string course, a blank second stage, and a 2-course brick band from 1814. The belfry openings are round-arched with wooden louvres and applied Y-tracery. The tower is topped with a stepped and dentilled brick cornice, a coped parapet, and plain ashlar angle pinnacles.

The nave and chancel feature buttresses with tumbled-in brick at the offsets, triple round-headed windows in the nave, single similar windows in the chancel, and a stepped triple window at the east end. There is a twin north window to the vestry. The windows have ashlar sills, flush red brick sill and impost bands, hoods above, and a stepped and cogged eaves cornice. The gables are stone-coped with shaped kneelers and have crested ridge tiles. An ornate chimney is present on the vestry.

Inside, the nave is open to the chancel, which has a round chancel arch supported by pairs of short corbelled wall shafts. The chancel features a waggon roof, while the nave has a ceiled hammer-beam roof with a rounded-trefoil section. The chancel floor is adorned with polychrome tiles. Notable monuments in the chancel include a pair of shaped wall tablets with carved borders and foliate drops, one commemorating Rev Peter Atkinson from 1779 and the other a lesser copy from 1816 for Rev Robert Barker. There is also a tablet for Rev Charles Hague from 1864, which features a cornice and pediment with acroteria.
