Church Of St Nicholas

The Church of St Nicholas is a parish church that dates from the 14th century and later. It is constructed from local stone rubble with Cary stone ashlar dressings, featuring Welsh slate roofing with a coped east gable on the chancel and plain gables on the north aisle, while the nave has a simple gable covered with plain clay tiles. The church has a three-cell plan consisting of a two-bay chancel, a two-bay nave, and a north aisle, along with a south porch, a west tower, and a vestry extension to the north aisle.

The chancel is plain, featuring an almost round-headed 16th-century style three-light traceried east window and a two-light window in a flat-topped recess on the south wall, which has an ogee-arched doorway to the east. The north aisle includes a two-light flat-headed window in the east wall and a pair of 19th-century two-light traceried pointed windows with labels in the north wall, separated by full-height offset buttresses. The nave has similar windows on the south wall, with the porch located between them, topped with a coped gable that is crowned with a block-type sundial. The porch has a moulded arch of near semi-circular form, with a plain chamfered pointed inner arch.

The tower, likely from the 14th century, is simple and consists of two stages. It features a plinth, diagonal buttresses with offsets on most of the lower stage, string courses, and an upper stage with corner gargoyles and a crenellated parapet. The west wall has a small two-light window with cusped heads under a flat arch without a label, while the south wall has a slit window for the belfry. The north wall is plain, and the second stage has a single two-light traceried window without a label on each face, with a small lean-to structure against the north side.

Inside, the chancel has a mostly 19th-century character, with a pseudo three-centred arch leading to the organ chamber in the north wall; the wide chancel arch may date back to the 14th century. The nave features a 15th-century style arcade leading into the north aisle, added in 1888, which uses panelled arches. Notable fittings include a plain tub-type font, possibly from the 12th century, and an octagonal pulpit front with panel tracery, likely from the 15th century.
