Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a late medieval single cell church that was restored in 1703 and features 18th-century fittings. It has a tiled roof with a boarded belfry at the west end, topped by a lead pyramid roof. The walls are made of stone rubble with stone dressings, partly rendered in 18th-century red brick. There are stepped buttresses at each corner and one in the middle. The church has single light, 5-cusped Perpendicular windows, with two on the north side and three on the south side, along with a 15th-century two-light west window on the south side and a modern three-light east window in a Perpendicular style. The plain chamfered south door has a date plaque above it, indicating the year 1703.

Inside, the east end is raised on one step and features 18th-century turned altar rails. On either side of the altar table are painted boards displaying the Creed and the Lord's Prayer. The north wall has fragments of 17th-century paintings, while the south wall of the nave displays a large painted board with the Commandments, framed by arches and figures within an architectural framework with side pilasters. Opposite this is the tomb monument of Sir Richard Powlett, who died in 1614. It includes a recumbent figure within a richly decorated ordered frame, complete with strapwork and finials, an inscribed panel at the back, and a tomb chest with two panelling facing figures in a central recess, all enclosed by a wrought-iron rail. The west end is enclosed by a 15th-century screen, which includes bench seating and a ceiling. The main interior is surrounded by a moulded cornice from 1703, and there are additional painted fragments, a helm, small wall monuments, three hatchments, and a Victorian font among the furnishings.
