About Us

St Nicholas Church at Little Wigborough is known locally as the church on the marshes.  It is situated beside Copt Hall which is owned by the National Trust.  It is a small historic building with a rood screen which used to seat about 50 people.

St Nicholas Church is currently closed due to cracks inside and out. It cannot be visited without permission and the inside is a "hard hat" area.  The extreme weather conditions in 2017 and 2018 have caused subsidence cracks in the SW buttress and nearby walls. Inside the floor has sunk in some places and raised up in others.  The condition of the church building appears to be worsening.

St Nicholas Church is also known for its proximity to the site where the L33 zeppelin landed on September 24th, 1916.  A centenary commemoration event called 'Zepfest' was held on the fields around Copt Hall during the weekend of September 24th and 25th, 2016.  See the website...  www.zepfest.net
