St Nicholas Church, Nottingham

St Nicholas Church, known locally as St Nic's, is a parish church in Nottingham city centre under the Anglican diocese of Southwell. The church, since 1953, is Grade II* listed by the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport as it is a particularly significant building of more than local interest. History St Nicholas Church is one of the three medieval Christian foundations still existing in Nottingham, the others being St Peter's Church and St Mary's Church. A church of St Nicholas was erected on the site of the present building in the eleventh or twelfth century. This building was destroyed in 1643 during the English Civil War. The Royalists established themselves in the tower of the old church, and bombarded the garrison of the Castle. In 1643 the governor of the castle, Colonel Hutchinson ordered the old church to be completely destroyed and for 28 years - from 1643 to 1671 - there was no Church of St. Nicholas in Nottingham. In 1671 a new church was being constructed with completion in 1678, the church which exists today. The Marriage, Burial and Baptism Registers begin in 1562. Other documents deeds, indentures, ecclesiastical licences, terriers (or inventories of church property) - date from 1671. The Vestry Books contain accounts of elections and church meetings from 1703 onwards. No burials have taken place in the churchyard since 1881. Present day St Nicholas Church, also known as St Nic's, is a parish located in the city centre of Nottingham under the auspice of Southwell Diocese. Its congregation is drawn from across the city, and is popular with university students. It has been described by Anglican body Fulcrum as Charismatic and Evangelical. List of rectors Organ The first organ was installed in 1811 and listed in the church inventory among other items, "one organ with rods and curtains, two bassoons and a serpent." In 2010 the former organ by C. Lloyd and Co. was replaced by an electronic organ from Rodgers. Organists Clock An early clock was installed in 1699 by Richard Roe. This was replaced in 1830 by a clock by James Woolley which had previously been in the Nottingham Exchange. The diagonal clock face is thought to have been installed at the same time, and also been from the Exchange. This 1830 clock mechanism was replaced by an electric action clock in the 1970s but the clock face was retained. The James Woolley clock was given to the Nottingham Industrial Museum.

St Nicholas Church, Wrea Green

St Nicholas Church is in the village of Wrea Green, Lancashire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Kirkham, the archdeaconry of Lancaster and the diocese of Blackburn. Its benefice is combined with those of St Matthew, Ballam and St Michael, Weeton. The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building. History In 1721 the trustees of Nicolas Sharples' charity bought a plot of ground in the village from a Jane Whiteside and erected on it a small chapel, paid for by funds they had raised amongst themselves. The church was licensed for services in 1722 and was consecrated by the Bishop of Chester on 20 June 1755. In 1846 an order in council added to the township of Ribby with Wrea the township of Westby (without the two Plumptons) and formed them into the new parish of Ribby with Wrea, making it a perpetual curacy. In 1869 it became a titular vicarage. The small chapel was pulled down and on 13 May 1848 the new vicar, G L Parsons, laid the foundation stone for the present structure. The church was rebuilt in 1848–49 by the Lancaster architects Sharpe and Paley at a cost of about £1,600 (equivalent to £180,000 as of 2025). It opened on 23 September 1849 but was not consecrated until 4 May 1855. In 1857 the pulpit, organ chamber, vestry, and stalls were added, but the architect responsible for this is not known. The steeple was added in 1884 by the successors in the same practice, Paley and Austin at a cost of £1,300. In 1931–32 Henry Paley of the same practice, now called Austin and Paley, added a marble floor to the chancel, new steps, and new choir seats. An extension at west end of the church, completed in 2007, provided the village with a fully-equipped community centre. Architecture Exterior St Nicholas Church is constructed in sandstone rubble and has blue slate roofs. Its architectural style is Early English.

The windows in each bay of the nave consist of a pair of lancet windows with a circular window at the top. In the chancel is a three-light east window containing Geometrical tracery, and two double lancets on the south side. The west window consists of a double lancet above which is a sexfoil rose window. Interior Inside the church is a carved and gilded reredos and a stone pulpit. The east window contains stained glass by Shrigley and Hunt.

St Nicholas's Church, Berwick Bassett

St Nicholas's Church in Berwick Bassett, Wiltshire, England dates from the early 13th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a Grade II* listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant in 1972, and was vested in the Trust the next year. Services continue to be held at the church a few times a year. The church can only be approached by a pedestrian footpath. The redbrick chancel was built between 1199 and 1221, with the nave being added in the 14th century and built of sarsen stone. On the south wall is a scratch dial. The interior has a font from the 13th century and a rood screen from the 15th. The pulpit, altar rail and pews are from the 19th century. There is a trefoiled piscina, a shallow basin used for washing the communion vessels. Monuments include wall tablets to Henry Webb (died 1776), John Nalder (1794), and Elizabeth Nalder (1835). In the 1660s the church was visited by John Aubrey, who described the memorials and tombs he saw. In 1857 the church underwent a major restoration by Thomas Henry Wyatt. This included replacement of the original wooden tower with the current stone structure which contains three bells dating from the 17th century. At this point the walls were rendered and whitewashed. Parish The benefice was united with that of Winterbourne Monkton in 1865. In 1929 the union was severed, and Berwick was instead united with Winterbourne Bassett. In 1952 the union was again dissolved, in order that the incumbent of the united benefice of Avebury with Winterbourne Monkton could also hold Berwick. Those benefices were united in 1970, and their three parishes united at the same time; in 1975 a team ministry was created for the area, which became known as the Upper Kennet benefice.

St Nicholas's Church, Fisherton Delamere

St Nicholas's Church in Fisherton Delamere, Wiltshire, England, was built in the 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building, and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was declared redundant on 1 June 1982, and was vested in the Trust on 30 October 1984. The church, which is built in a chequerboard pattern of flint and stone, sits on a hill overlooking the River Wylye. It was built on the site of a Norman church in the 14th century and was substantially rebuilt in the 19th century. In the 1830s and 1860s John Davis organised the work including the demolition and rebuilding of the chancel under the supervision of W. Hardwick, a Warminster surveyor. It has a two-stage tower which is supported by diagonal buttresses. Inside the church is a Minton tiled reredos which may date from the 1861 rebuilding. The screen was designed by Frederick Charles Eden and installed in 1912 while carrying out other work on the church. Because of local objections the screen was never painted. The cylindrical font dates from the 12th century. One of the bells was transferred to Wylye church in 1975; two of the remaining four were cast by James Burrough of Devizes in 1745, and two by Mears in 1844. William Herbert Allen (1863–1943), a landscape watercolour artist whose career spanned more than 50 years from the 1880s to the 1940s, is buried in the churchyard. Parish The benefice was united with Wylye in 1929, and the parsonage house at Fisherton was to be sold, although the parishes remained distinct; at the same time the portion of the parish south of the river was transferred to Stockton parish. Stockton was added to the benefice in 1957, and in 1973 a united benefice of Wylye, Fisherton Delamere and The Langfords (Steeple Langford and Little Langford) was created. The next year, the parishes of Wylye and Fisherton Delamere were united. See also List of churches preserved by the Churches Conservation Trust in South West England References

St Nicholas's Church, Tresco

St Nicholas's Church, Tresco, is a parish church in the Church of England located in Tresco, Isles of Scilly, UK. History Originally two old cottages were used by the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge (SPCK) as a church. Augustus Smith provided funds to make the building cruciform, adding a north transept (the cottages formed an aisle with south transept) and an eastern end. According to tradition a gallery was constructed from the timbers of a ship wrecked on St Helen's; increasing the capacity to 200. Edith Dorrien-Smith laid the foundation stone of the Anglican church of St Nicholas on 12 September 1877, near the old building. The principal benefactor was Lady Sophia Tower. The church was opened for worship on 17 June 1879 by Edward White Benson, the first Bishop of Truro. It was consecrated on 16 July 1882, a delay due to an undisclosed ″legal difficulty″. The dedication of the church to St Nicholas is the same as the dedication of the medieval Tresco Abbey, the remains of which are in Tresco Abbey Gardens. The new churchyard included the old one, and was planted with aloes, dracaenas, flowering plants and evergreens. The three-panelled reredos is made of red serpentine and inlaid with a marble cross, aureola and sacred emblems. It was fixed in position in May 1879. The font is also made of serpentine, mounted on small granite columns. The reredos and font were manufactured by Messrs Bradbury at their serpentine manufactury at the Folly, Penzance. The reredos was made to the designs of Charles Eamer Kempe. Organ The pipe organ dates from 1886 and is by the builder Eustace Ingram. The specification can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.

St Nicholas Church, Harpenden

The church of St Nicholas in Harpenden is a parish church in the Church of England. It is a Grade II* listed building. Background It is the oldest known church in Harpenden, Hertfordshire. It was originally built as a Chapel-of-Ease in about 1217, until it was enlarged and the existing tower added in 1470. The old church was demolished in 1861 to make way for a larger building. The tower contains a ring of eight bells, the oldest of which dates from 1612. Harpenden remained part of the ecclesiastical parish of Wheathampstead until 1859 but was, from the Middle Ages, a separate civil parish with its own officials, who were elected annually at the Abbot's Manorial Court, held at Wheathampstead. In 1862, only three years after the long-sought separation from the parish of Wheathampstead, the church was rebuilt to accommodate the growing congregation. The church is part of the Parish of Harpenden St Nicholas, a Church of England Parish within the Diocese of St Albans. Within the parish are two daughter churches, All Saints on Station Road in the Batford district to the east of Harpenden, and St Mary's on the northern outskirts. These churches have their own District Committees (as St Nicholas does) and enjoy a degree of autonomy and distinctive styles of worship.

The church has been restored twice, the south side in 1883 and the north side from 1890 by John Norton. The west porch was built in 1904, a gift from Lady Boughey. In 1912, politician Enoch Powell was baptised at the church where his parents previously had married in 1909. In 1998 the Vicar, Roy Hibbert, was found guilty of fraud after overcharging parishioners for funerals and other services. For the 2019 Remembrance Day 200 poppies were knitted for the church. Notable clergy Michael Beasley, assistant curate in 1999-2003 - later Bishop of Bath and Wells. Architecture The sandstone building consists of a chancel, south chapel, nave with aisles and a west tower. The stained glass includes a window in the chancel by Morris & Co. with Burne-Jones figures. One in the south chapel is by Charles Eamer Kempe. The north west corner of the nave, known locally as the "Longford Corner", contains a stained glass window by Christopher Whall in memory of two brothers of the Leake family killed in the First World War and a wooden parish war memorial plaque to local dead from the same war that were moved here from the former parish church at nearby Longford which closed in 1981. Near this corner is a brass plaque to Captain Walter Rowlands Roberts, Royal Army Medical Corps, who was killed in the Dardanelles in 1915. The tower has 8 bells hung from wooden headstocks. Five of the bells were cast by Thomas Mears of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry in London in 1812. The two most recent were cast by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough in 1952. In the churchyard is a sandstone memorial cross with brass plaques commemorating the men from the town who lost their lives in World War I and World War II.
