Welcome
The Spiritual hub of our group of parishes is the stately parish church, dedicated, like so many maritime churches - to St. Nicholas. Here you will find a warm welcome; whether you are local to the area or a visitor; whether you are young or old; whether you are of the faith or not.
The original church was probably built in the late twelve nineties and would no doubt have been of fine transitional design. However,it was burnt down after being struck by lightning in 1879 and was rebuilt - this time incorporating a lightning conductor on the tower. The church yard also contains the grave of John Fryer who was born in Wells-next-the-Sea in 1753, and is buried in the churchyard of St Nicholas, he was Master of the infamous ship the Bounty.
The Church is usually open during the day for quiet and reflection as well as for historical interest.
Do come along, we would love to meet you.
God bless you.
