St Nicholas Great Wilbraham (RGL2024)
St Nicholas, Great Wilbraham
History of St Nicholas
Parish church, with a C12 origin, but mostly of C13 when the nave, crossing and chancel were built or rebuilt. The West Tower is probably C14. Restored C19 when the North Transept was mostly rebuilt. Pebble stones, flint and limestone dressings with some clunch surviving in the window tracery. Plain tiled roofs. Original cruciform plan, but the central tower was either never built or collapsed. West Tower added C15, of three stages embattled with restored crocketed pinnacles and moulded main cornice. … There are two mid C18 gothic wall monuments in the chancel, one to Miss Mary Ward, 1756 and Thomas Weston Ward, 1750.
