Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church dating from the early 15th century, which has been restored. It is constructed of coursed rubble limestone with some greensand, and features repairs in brick and tile, along with some brick buttresses. The church has 20th-century tile roofs and includes a west tower, nave, a 19th-century south porch, a north porch that now serves as a vestry, and a chancel.

The west tower has an altered ashlar parapet, diagonal buttresses, and arched openings to the bell chamber, each with two lights, with the southern opening featuring blind tracery in the tympanum. The west side of the tower has a two-light Decorated window set in a deeply splayed and multi-chamfered surround. The nave contains two bays of restored two-light traceried windows on the north side and five doors. The north porch has a blocked semi-circular arch with paired leaded casements, while the south door features a moulded two-centred arch. The south porch has an altered 19th-century wooden door frame with a Tudor arch. The chancel includes two bays of much restored two-light traceried windows and a three-light Perpendicular window to the east, with a small blocked low-side window on the south side.

Inside, there is a tall triple-chamfered tower arch and a double-chamfered chancel arch with an inner order supported by corbels featuring carved figures. The chancel has 15th-century niches with battlemented canopies and 19th-century carved figures of saints flanking the east window. There is a small restored piscina with a trefoil head. Notable fittings include a 17th-century chair, some 17th-century pews at the rear of the nave, a 12th-century chest, and an 18th-century royal coat of arms over the south door. The font, pulpit, and other fittings are from the 19th century. The church also contains two small 15th-century brasses with inscriptions, along with a marble wall monument to Bernard Turney and family from 1686, featuring flanking Ionic columns, an entablature, and a segmental pediment with a coat of arms.
