Summary
St Nicholas' Church is a small church with a Norman nave and a 13th century chancel with Early English lancet windows and three stepped lancet lights in the east end. Later Perpendicular style windows were inserted, but the most notable feature is the 18th century brick south tower, looking very much like a porch. A small amount of 15th century stained glass survives in a north window in the nave.
