Former Parish Church of St Nicholas, with Day Centre

The former Parish Church of St Nicholas, now partly a day centre and partly a chapel, is located on Strood High Street. The church features a west tower from the 14th century that has been significantly renewed, while the main body of the church was constructed in 1812 by Robert Smirke. There are late 19th century and late 20th century additions to the north, with the latter serving as offices for the day centre. The building is made of coursed rubble ragstone and has a Welsh slate roof, with the tower displaying flint and ragstone banding.

Inside, the church has been divided, but the three eastern bays of the nave are still used as a chapel. The west tower is undivided and features a shallow sanctuary and a south porch. The tower lacks buttresses, and its round-headed west doorway and blocked window above do not appear to be Norman. The decorative flint and ragstone banding is typically attributed to the 14th century. The tower consists of three stages with battlements and quoining, and it has triple lancet belfry openings.

Smirke's nave has five bays with round-headed two-light windows that include transoms, a renewed stone parapet, and a shallow pedimented sanctuary featuring four round-headed lancets and a roundel within a larger arch. The south porch is also pedimented and has partly glazed doors with a fanlight that includes glazing bars. There are two late 20th century glazed doors added to the south wall of the nave to access the day centre.

The interior includes a Perpendicular tower arch and features a sanctuary ceiling and arch adorned with Edwardian paintings of angels on a decorative background, executed in oil on plaster. Earlier Victorian stained glass can be found in the east and side windows.
