Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St. Nicholas is a parish church dating to the medieval period with subsequent alterations. It is constructed of flint with ashlar and brick dressings, and has lead roofs. The church includes a ruined western tower; a nave with a south aisle and south porch; and a chancel. Parts of the north and south walls of the west tower remain, including a fragment of the western ashlar jamb of the south first-floor opening. The south aisle features a 14th-century traceried circular window. Three traceried three-light Perpendicular windows are set within 4-centred arches, each with carved head label stops. A similar blocked window is located in the east of the south aisle, and a single similar window is on the north side. The nave has 14th-century moulded doorways with carved head label stops, though the north doorway is blocked. A restored late-medieval porch has 2-light side windows and a 4-centred entrance arch. The south door is late-medieval with moulded cover strips. The chancel is lit by two Perpendicular three-light traceried windows. A priest's door is positioned on the north side, potentially leading to or from a former vestry. The east window is a 14th-century design with a central cusped mandorla creating a pair of subsidiary lozenge-shaped cusped lights.

Inside, the church has a three-bay 14th-century arcade with quatrefoil piers and wave-moulded arches. The contemporary chancel arch is supported on carved head corbels. The easternmost bay of the south aisle connects to the chancel via an arch over a table tomb, with squints to either side. The nave and aisle both have restored late-medieval roofs; the nave roof has hammerbeams, while the aisle roof has braces with traceried spandrels. The chancel contains double piscinae with cusped ogee heads and foiled spandrels, and triple sedilia under a single 4-centred arch. A Southwell monument is located on the north side of the chancel, consisting of a three-bay colonnade of channelled Renaissance columns and a full entablature above a tomb chest displaying a life-size alabaster effigy of Sir Richard Southwell (died 1564). An arched recess above displays family arms. A Jacobean polygonal pulpit stands on a single stem with a carved lunette frieze and back-plate. A late-medieval table-tomb is present, decorated with cusped lozenges and blank shields. A holy water stoup is situated beside the doorway.
