Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is the only remaining church from the five that existed in New Romney during the Medieval Period, which included three parish churches, a Priory, and a Hospital. The lower three stages of the tower and the four bays of the nave date from around 1160-1170. The two upper stages of the tower, featuring corner turrets and an octagonal parapet (or the remains of a spire), were constructed around 1200. The easternmost bay of the nave, the chancel, and the aisles of the nave are from the 14th century. Inside, there is a piscina and triple sedilia in the chancel and both aisles. The north chapel has an early 14th-century recess with a depressed arch, large cusping, and a frieze of large four-petaled flowers. The church also contains brasses and box pews.
