St Nicholas

The West tower is late C14

the remainder is late C15.

In 1475 Sir John Howard and Sir John Broughton obtained letters patent from King Edward IV to found a perpetual chantry.

The C15 south door has traceried ornamentation in the upper panels.

The interior has been little altered since the C17 and presents an unusually complete picture of a medieval church with stalls for chantry priests and benches for parishioners.

The 7-bay chancel and nave has a fine original arch braced cambered tie-beam roof and a cornice carved with lions, hounds, hares and harts.

There are C17 shields hearing the arms of the Robinson family superimposed on larger shields of earlier date.

Backing on to the roof screen there are 4 misericords 3 are carved with foliage and 1 is carved with a crane holding a stone.

The altar, communion rail and octagonal pulpit are of the C17.

The bench ends have carved animals copied from the medieval bestiary, and they also have a skirting, originally used to keep in place the rushes provided for kneeling upon.

Brasses include a fine brass of Henry and Margaret Everard , a brass of a lady of the Drury family and a brass inscription to William Burn
