Description
The Church of St Nicholas is a mortuary chapel that dates back to the 14th century, with most of the structure being from 1778. It is built of brick, with some ironstone, and features a tiled roof. The church has a single-cill design, retaining its medieval east wall and west end. The roof is plain, with a slightly steeper pitch on the western section, which includes a boarded bell-turret topped with a shingled spire.
The main walls, constructed in 1778, are made of brickwork in Flemish bond and feature brick dentil eaves, cambered openings, and a double-stepped plinth with stone offsets. The east wall is cemented and has a Gothic window with two cusped lights below a roundel. The west wall is made of ironstone and has a plain round-headed doorway, while the upper part is brickwork in Flemish bond with headers. The side windows are leaded lights set in oak casements, and there is a brick gabled porch. A stone plaque dated 1778 is also present.
Inside, the church is plastered and has a flat ceiling with coved sides and ribs that end in rosettes. The east wall features painted early 19th-century prescriptions in four panels. There is a Mortuary Crib from the late 18th century, which consists of a rectangular railed enclosure with six brass sconces for candles above the main posts. The interior also includes a panelled 18th-century pulpit, a plain stone tub font from the 11th century with a wrought-iron cover, a gallery from 1800 with an irregular panelled front, a chest from around 1300, and four mid-19th-century brass candle holders mounted on plain bench pews.
