Church of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church that features a Norman tower and chancel arch, with most of the structure dating from the 13th century. The church also has a 19th-century north aisle, organ chamber, vestry, and restorations carried out by G.E. Street in 1868. It is built of rubble stone and has a tiled roof. The tower consists of three stages and includes double lancets in the bell chamber. The south aisle has a two-light Decorated window on the left, a three-light Perpendicular window with a flat hood-mould on the right, and a three-light window with reticulated tracery in the east wall. The south door is Early English, featuring roll mouldings on the arch supported by shafts with moulded caps and bases. There is a 15th-century porch. The north aisle has paired lancets, while the chancel features lancets that are round-headed on the exterior and paired on the east side, with incised ornament in the spandrels. The east window has geometric tracery.

Inside, there is a Norman arch leading to the tower with a single lancet above it. The nave consists of three bays with double chamfered arches on octagonal piers that have moulded caps and carved head corbels at the west end. A low Norman arch leads to the chancel. The north wall of the chancel has an arch leading to the organ and a tomb recess beneath a depressed pointed arch, with two tracery bars resting on a corbel featuring a carved head below. The south wall has a continuous hood-mould over a piscina, sedilia, tomb recesses, and a low window to the west. The arcade has shafts with nailhead ornament on the moulded caps. The chancel boasts a fine roof with wall posts, arched braces to the collar, curved struts, and wind-braces. There are modern fittings throughout.

Notable monuments include an elaborate table tomb with recumbent effigies of Paul and Dorothy Dayrell from 1571, brasses commemorating Richard Blakysley, rector, from 1493, and Paul and Elizabeth Dayrell from 1491, as well as wall tablets for Elizabeth Dayrell from 1679 and Paul Dayrell from 1690.
