Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St. Nicholas is a parish church displaying fabric from the 12th century through to the 15th century, with restoration work undertaken in 1863 and further restoration in 1907. The church is constructed of coursed rubble with dressed coursed rubble and ashlar details, and has tile roofs. A single stack is visible on the south nave. The building consists of a tower, nave, south porch, and chancel.

The 15th-century tower, diagonally buttressed and set on a plinth with a moulded band, rises in two stages. It is embattled with eight crocketed pinnacles and features gargoyles on the north and south sides. The west side has a single arched window with three cusped lights, while the bell chamber has four arched openings, each with two arched lights and panel tracery. Rectangular stair windows are present on the west, north (one), and south (two) sides, with a clock face on the east side.

The raised north nave wall stands out with a continuous sill band. It contains a late 14th-century three-light window with cusped lights and mouchettes beneath a flat arch with a hood mould. To the left is a pointed double-chamfered arched doorway with a hood mould, and further left are three similar windows. The 13th-century chancel, constructed of coursed rubble, has two 13th-century lancet windows in its north wall. The buttressed east end contains a single 14th-century arched window with three cusped lights and cusped trefoils above a transom; the window is blocked above this point. The south chancel wall has a single double 13th-century lancet, and a pointed, chamfered arched doorway to its left.

The south nave wall, dating back to the 12th century, also has a continuous sill band and a 1907 ashlar and tile porch with a coped gable and single ridge cross. The porch has a chamfered plinth, a moulded arched entrance with a hood mould and label stops, and an inner moulded pointed arched doorway with its own hood mould and head label stops. A further three-light window is located to the left.

Inside, the inner chamfer of the double-chamfered tower arch is supported on corbels, with a 20th-century screen positioned underneath. A single niche with a cusped ogee arch is set diagonally in the north wall at the junction of the nave and chancel. In the south chancel wall is an ogee arched piscina; in front of it are the remains of a 13th-century shaft piscina with nailhead decoration. Cusped niches are found in the north and south nave walls. Late 17th-century altar rails incorporate heavily twisted balusters, and a panelled pulpit is also present. The remaining furniture dates to the 20th century, including an octagonal font.
