Description
St Nicholas, located at No 8 on West Street in Warminster, is a late 18th-century building. It stands two storeys tall and is constructed from coursed rubble, featuring a projecting string at the level of the ground floor window heads. The roof is made of old tiles and is half hipped to the left, with a brick chimney off the ridge. The building has glazing bar sash windows with architrave frames, four on the first floor and three on the ground floor. The entrance features a six-panel door situated in the second bay from the left, surrounded by a narrow architrave framed in a rusticated band. This includes a small projecting keystone and outer strip pilasters with double scroll cut brackets, topped with a small moulded flat hood that is broken forward over the brackets. There is a vaulted cellar beneath the building. The interior has been altered, with the balusters removed from the staircase on the first-floor galleried landing.
