Description
The Church of St Nicholas is a Grade II* listed building located in Wattisham. It is primarily constructed of flint and stone, dating mainly from the 14th century, with alterations from the 15th century and restoration in the 19th century. The west tower and part of the nave are faced with cement. The tower features stepped embattlements and panelled flushwork. The chancel includes two 19th-century gabled dormers. Inside, there is the lower part of a chancel screen adorned with repainted figures of saints and virgins. Additionally, the tower houses an unusual 18th-century stone tablet that commemorates a "singular calamity" that occurred in 1762. The church is recognized for its historical significance.
