Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a church built around 1807 and remodeled in 1903. It is constructed from limestone ashlar and has a slate roof. The church features a nave, chancel, south aisle, south chapel, north vestry, and a west tower. The chancel has an east window with three lights and a four-centred arch head. The south aisle, added around 1903, includes a three-window range of three-light square-headed windows and a two-light west window, all beneath a lean-to roof with ashlar gable parapets. The south chapel, also from 1903, has a south window with three lights and a pointed head with tracery, as well as an east window of three lights with a square head.

On the north elevation of the nave, there is one three-light window with a four-centred arch head. The roof is pitched, featuring ashlar cornices and gable parapets with a finial. An octagonal ashlar lateral stack is present. The north vestry, built around 1903, has a two-light north window with a pointed head and a west door also with a pointed head, topped with a gabled roof and ashlar parapets. The north porch at the base of the west tower has ashlar gable parapets and a finial.

The west tower consists of three stages, with a flat string course separating the two-light west windows at the ground floor and similar windows on three faces of the second stage. The third stage has two-light square-headed bell-chamber openings on each face, a castellated parapet with corner pinnacles, and a polygonal stair turret in one corner.

Inside, there is a double chamfered chancel arch and a three-bay south arcade featuring triple chamfered arches on circular piers. The tower arch is also double chamfered, as are the arches leading to the south chapel, which now serves as a vestry. The stained glass includes a reset 16th-century French glass in the east window and early 20th-century armorial glass in the north window of the nave, commemorating Lord Overstone's family.

Monuments include an early 18th-century tablet to the Strafford family on the north wall of the chancel, featuring fluted pilasters with an open pediment and putti above, as well as a smaller similar tablet on the south wall of the chancel, both reset from an earlier church in Overstone Park that has since been demolished. There is also an oval tablet in the tower commemorating Elizabeth Ives, who died in 1792, and a brass tablet inscribed to John Kipling from 1831, along with various other 19th-century tablets.
