Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church that dates back to around 1200, with additions and alterations from the 13th, 15th, and 18th centuries, and it was restored in 1857. The nave, which is from circa 1200, features four bays with aisles. The chancel, dating from the 13th century, includes a Victorian north vestry, while the west tower, which is slightly inset, is from the 15th century. There is a Victorian south porch and a north transept that houses the organ. The church has a tile roof that slopes flatter over the aisles. The walls are made of a mix of flint and stone rubble, with stone dressings, buttresses, and a plinth. The chancel has small lancet windows, while the other windows, from the restoration period, include triple lancets beneath an ogee arch in the nave and traceried windows at the east and west ends. The tower consists of three stages and features massive diagonal buttresses, with walls of chequered flint and stone. The small south porch is timber-framed. Inside, the Transitional arcade is supported by cylindrical columns, and there is a pillar piscina, an 18th-century font with an oval basin on a square baluster, and several wall monuments.
