We believe a church has stood on this site since the 12th Century as the list of Rectors dates back to then. The current Church of St Nicholas was built in the 14th Century although the bell tower is the only section of the church remaining from that time.   The main part of the church was largely rebuilt in 1879–80 by the Rev. Sir J. Henry Fludyer, baronet and former rector of the parish (1834-70), and Augusta his wife, in memory of their three elder children, who died of scarlet fever at the ages of 4, 6 and 8 years. It is a lovely example of a small rural Victorian church with a number of fine features. 

The cost of the work in 1879 was £2,993; the equivalent price today would be £3,743,695.  

The church of St. Nicholas is a small stone building, in the Gothic style, consisting of apsidal chancel, nave, south porch and an embattled western tower, with four pinnacles, containing one bell and a clock.  

The chancel and the south side of the nave are faced with ashlar, the tower and the north wall of the nave being of rubble; the roofs are covered with Collyweston slates. The shape of the apse is unusual:  half an octagon externally and a semi circular shape inside. 

Interior     There is a bell tower, nave and chancel. The walls of the nave are covered in lime plaster.  The nave and chancel ceilings are timbered.  The floor of the nave is Ancaster Weatherbed limestone with Victorian tiled stone paving laid in the entrance, aisle and approach to the chancel steps.  The chancel floor is Minton tiled.

The open carved oak pews seat approximately 90 people.
