Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a Grade I listed building located on Church Road in Barton-le-Clay. It features a mix of architectural styles developed from the 12th to the 15th century, including a chancel, a nave with north and south aisles, and a western tower. The church underwent restoration in 1879 and is constructed from rubble limestone and cobbles, with some limestone dressings. The tower is notable for its flint and clunch with limestone chequerwork.

The chancel windows have been modernized but reflect 13th-century details. Inside, there is a sedilia, piscina, and a tomb recess, along with 11th-century floor tiles surrounding the altar and two 14th-century brasses. The nave, which has four bays, was expanded in the mid-13th century, adding one bay to the west of an originally aisleless nave, which received its aisles in stages during the 13th and 14th centuries. The nave was heightened, and the current roof was added in the late 15th century. The church also features some linen-fold pews, and the font, dating from the 12th century, was altered in the 15th century. The 15th-century west tower includes pairs of corner buttresses, two offsets, and a tierceron-star vault within.
