Parish Church Of St Nicholas

The parish church of St Nicholas dates in part to the 14th century, with a chancel of that period. The nave and south chapel were rebuilt in the 15th century, and the west tower and south porch added during the same period. A north aisle was added in 1871, when the church was restored. The church is constructed of caused rubble stone, with stone slate roofs, stone gable copings, and crosses at the apices.

The chancel features an east window dating to the 15th century, with three cinquefoiled lights, vertical tracery, a 2-centred head, and a moulded label with head stops. A trefoiled rear arch is original to the 14th century. The north wall includes two early 14th-century windows: the eastern window has two trefoiled ogee lights, a quatrefoil in a pointed head, and a label. The west window is a single pointed light with a label. The south wall also contains two windows similar to the north-east window. An early 14th-century doorway has chamfered jambs, a pointed arch, and a label.

The nave has three bays, with one bay of the south chapel. The south chapel's east window is from the 15th century, with three cinquefoiled lights, vertical tracery, a pointed head, moulded reveals, and a label. A 15th-century window of four cinquefoiled lights in a square head with moulded reveals is located in the south wall. The west wall has a partly restored doorway. The south porch has a 15th-century outer archway with double responds, moulded capitals and bases. The inner doorway has bracket-moulded jambs with stopped features. A 19th-century plank-and-muntin door is fitted with strap hinges.

The three-story west tower has an embattled parapet and gargoyles. The west doorway has moulded jambs, a 2-carved arch in a square head, foliage spandrels, and one remaining head-stop. The west window has three cinquefoiled lights with vertical tracery in a pointed head. The bell-chamber windows have two trefoiled lights with a quatrefoil in a pointed head, a label, and head-stops. The north aisle has three three-light windows with buttresses between, and diagonal corner buttresses.

Inside, the north arcade has respond-shafted piers with foliage capitals and pointed arches. The moulded tower-arch springs from moulded responds. The roof of the nave is an arch-braced collar construction carried on stone corbels, dating to the 19th century. The chancel has a 19th-century pointed wagon roof. The south chapel features a compartmented ceiling with fleurons having quatrefoil surrounds. The chancel arch is 15th century and has been restored.

Notable fittings include a 13th-century font with a round stone bowl, vertical flutings, a scalloped edge, a moulded necking, a cylindrical stem, and a base. A 13th-century piscine is in the chancel, and a 15th-century piscina is in the south chapel. A 15th-century oak screen with three bays, including a central doorway, spans the tower arch. Monuments in the south chapel commemorate the Knoyle, Hutchings, and Medlicott families, especially a painted alabaster wall monument to William Knoyle (1607-1608). A 17th-century communion table is also present.
