Description
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.
