Parish Church Of St Nicholas

The Parish Church of St Nicholas is a church built between 1892 and 1893 by J. Moir, designed in the late Perpendicular Gothic style. It is constructed of coursed rubblestone with ashlar dressings and features old tile roofs, with a shingled spire. The church has a two-bay chancel with gabled side chapels and a three-and-a-half bay nave that includes a south tower/porch located to the south of the west bay.

The chancel is highlighted by a five-light east window, while the chapels each have a two-light window. The nave contains four-centred arched three-light windows, with three on the north side and two on the south. The east half-bay of the nave has lean-to additions on either side; the south addition serves as a porch with a door, and the north addition features a three-light window. The south chapel functions as a vestry and has a chimney on the gable, while the north chapel houses the organ.

Architectural details include weathered buttresses, stone-coped gables with kneelers, and Celtic apex crosses. The west front displays two two-light windows separated by a weathered buttress. The porch/tower features a four-centred west arch with cusped panelling above and a south three-light window. The ringing chamber has single cusped lights, and the belfry is adorned with straight-headed three-light windows that have stone louvres, tracery tops, and moulded heads and jambs. The spire is broached, and there are shallow buttresses, along with a stair turret in the northeast angle.

Inside, the chancel includes sedilia to the south, and there are four-centred arches leading to the chapels and the chancel arch. The roofs of the nave and chancel are supported by arch-braced scissor trusses with tracery spandrels. Memorial tablets commemorate Mrs. Wykeham from 1823 and Philip Wykeham from 1832. The stained glass in the chancel east windows and the nave west window was created by Kemp in 1901 and 1924.
