Church Of St Nicholas Shereford

The Church of St Nicholas in Shereford is a parish church featuring a Norman tower and nave, dating from around 1300, with later additions to the nave and chancel. The building is constructed of flint, with some carstone and stone dressings, and has a leaded tower, a slated nave, and tiled roofs for the chancel. The church includes a round tower at the west, a nave, a south porch, and a chancel. The tower has one two-light moulded brick mullioned window and two switch tracery mullioned windows, topped with a conical lead roof that has a valance. The south door is Norman, featuring two orders of shafts with capitals and five superimposed arches, two of which have roll-mouldings.

On the south wall of the nave, there is a three-light Decorated window, a splayed Norman window, and a paired lancet. The chancel has a straight-headed Decorated two-light window and another two-light switch tracery window. The south priest's door dates from around 1300. The north wall of the nave features an Early English north door from around 1300, though the shafts are missing, and two two-light switch tracery windows from the same period that have been reused in the built-up former north arcade. The east window is an elaborate Decorated three-light window with flowing tracery.

Inside, the church has a Norman round-headed tower arch with stone quoins and imposts, along with a simpler arch for the south door. There is a three-bay north arcade built into the wall, and no chancel arch. The chancel includes a south angle piscina with a colonnette that is part of the window embrasure, and the north side has an unmoulded Easter recess featuring an Early English tomb slab with a floriated cross. The Norman font has a solid base and shaft with four angle colonnettes, and a bowl with a scalloped base. The nave and chancel roofs were added in the mid-19th century.
