Description
The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church that is now disused and in a ruinous state. It dates back to the 12th century, with some alterations made in the 13th century. The building is constructed of flint and consists of a nave and chancel, although the south aisle was lost in the 13th century. Both the chancel and nave feature round-headed lancet windows. The west wall was rebuilt in the 13th century and includes a chamfered pointed arched west window, along with three large buttresses added at a later date. There is a round-headed north door.
Inside, there is a blocked two-bay south arcade with double chamfered arches supported by stop-chamfered piers and moulded abaci. The chancel contains a simple piscina and aumbrey, while the nave has a water stoup. The church was originally served by Langdon Abbey but fell out of use in the 16th century. By the time of Hasted's writings, it was being used as a barn.
