Description
The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church located in Worldham, dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, with significant restoration completed in 1888 after the building had lost its roof. The church features a stone west wall, while the other walls are roughcast, topped with a tile roof. It is a single-cell structure that includes two small lancet windows on the north side, a three-light east window that replaced triple lancets, a 15th-century single-light window, and a 16th-century three-light west window. There are two 13th-century doorways; the north doorway is now filled, while the south doorway is protected by a 15th-century timber-framed porch.
Inside, the church is plain, featuring a piscina in the east wall and two more in the nave, an octagonal font, and three wall monuments from the late 18th century. On the exterior, the upper west wall has a bracketed stone niche that contains the bell.
