Description

The Church of St Nicholas is an Anglican parish church built between 1878 and 1879. It features a combination of banded brick, sarsen, limestone, flint, and malmstone, with vitrified brick on the west gable. The roof was tiled in 1961. The church has a nave with a south porch and a chancel that includes a vestry on the north side. The entrance porch has a pitched roof and a wave-moulded door. The nave is adorned with two-light windows that have quatrefoil heads and drip moulds, while the west window consists of three lancets with trefoiled heads. A limestone bellcote is corbelled above the west end, and the chancel also features two-light quatrefoiled windows and coped verges. A date stone at the west end reads "RE TC 1790," and there is graffiti on a buttress dated 1631.

Inside, the nave comprises three bays with open hammerbeam trusses and a wide chancel arch that has continuous mouldings. The interior includes a panelled barrel vault of three bays, and the vestry is open to the chancel. Notable fittings include an octagonal font from the 19th century, an oak pulpit that is also 19th century and features pierced and panelled work, and an oak sanctuary rail. Monuments within the church include a tablet in the chancel dedicated to Charlotte Bleeck from 1830, a churchwardens tablet from 1739 in the nave, and an oval tablet commemorating Evelyn Burge, who died in 1954. Additionally, there are four large encaustic tiles and two margin tiles from the 15th century, which were recovered during excavations in 1966 on the north side of the building.
