Description
The Parish Church of St Nicholas is a church built in 1875 by James Ruddle of Peterborough. It is constructed of coursed limestone rubble with limestone dressings and features slate roofs, designed in a style reminiscent of the 13th century. The church comprises a nave and transept, with the main entrance located in the north aisle. It has three foiled round clerestory windows, two two-light aisle windows set in two-centred arches, and a transept window with three cinquefoil lights. The main entrance is highlighted by a moulded two-centred arch. Inside, the walls are faced with brick, and there is Neo-Gothic decoration on the arcade of three bays as well as the chancel and crossing arches. The nave roof is constructed with nine bays of braced collar-beam design, while the chancel roof features an arch braced with corbels of carved stone angels that support the wall posts. Additionally, there is memorial glass made by Mayer and Co, London, from 1892. The church was rebuilt on its original site.
