Description

The Church of St Nicholas is an Anglican parish church built in 1860, designed by the architect R.J. Withers from London. It is constructed from tooled blue lias ashlar and features a slate roof with red tile cresting. The church includes a nave, chancel, north porch, southeast vestry, and a west bellcote. This small Gothic church has cusped lancet windows, with one pair on each side of the nave, a two-light window with a quatrefoil head on the north side of the chancel, a two-light window with a sexfoil head on the east side, and a single lancet window on the south side of the chancel.

The south chancel vestry has a lean-to design with a shouldered head on the west door, a two-light window on the east, and a notable chimney stack on the south wall of the chancel, which is battered in three steps and features square smoke vents under a hipped stone cap. The north porch is gabled and includes a roll-moulded pointed doorway, along with a similar inner door that has wrought-iron hinges. The west front has a projected center with a two-light plate traceried window that has a trefoil head. The projection is shouldered at the springing level of the window and continues upward, first battered and then straight, to the base of the Doulting stone bellcote, which has battered sides and a pointed arch with chamfered piers, a coped gable, and a weathercock.

The churchyard is roughly circular and features gates at the northwest. There is an iron-railed enclosure for the tombs of the James family of Pantsaeson. Inside, the church has a three-bay nave roof supported by arch-braced collar trusses, an octagonal stone font, and a timber pulpit. The walls are plastered, and there is a chancel arch. The chancel has a scissor rafter roof, a timber reredos, and altar rails. Additionally, there are two strips of painted decoration in tones of brown on the chancel side walls, depicting cherubs and angels.
