Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church that dates back to the 14th century, featuring a chancel, the lower stages of the tower, and the plan of the nave. The church underwent significant alterations in the late 15th to early 16th centuries, with further restoration and partial rebuilding carried out between 1861 and 1864 by architect John Norton. It is constructed from red sandstone random rubble with Ham stone quoins and dressings, topped with a plain tiled roof and coped verges.

The church has a three-bay nave, a two-bay chancel, a vestry, a south porch, and a west tower. The tower is crenellated and consists of three stages, topped with a pyramid plain tile roof and adorned with gargoyles. It features diagonal buttresses and two-light bell openings with Somerset tracery, along with a two-light window at the west end. There is also a two-stage stair turret with a lean-to stone slate roof located in the southeast corner.

On the exterior, there are three-light and two-light windows flanking the gabled porch, which has a moulded arch entrance and a sundial inscribed "Govett 1707" in the gable end. A large stepped buttress is present at the southeast corner of the nave. The priest's door is flanked by a pair of lancets on the left and one on the right, while the east end features three lancets. The vestry is located on the north front and is flanked by lancets, with the north wall of the nave displaying a lancet and two two-light windows supported by stepped buttresses.

Inside, the church has a rendered interior with remnants of a stencilled dado, friezes, and mid-19th century inscriptions. There is a 19th-century screen and pulpit, the latter incorporating some medieval woodwork. A fine late medieval font with traces of coloured decoration is also present, along with a brass memorial to Charles Stemages and his wife Margaret Pollard.
