Hatherop - St Nicholas
St Nicholas's Church, Hatherop
Pulpit by Henry Clutton. It has finely carved stone decoration.
The church building was rebuilt in 1854/5 under the architect Henry Clutton with the assistance of the famous art-architect William Burgess. The mortuary chapel is a magnificent example of Burgess' early work and his influence is everywhere especially in the carved stone animals and angels. The rebuilding was funded by Lord de Mauley. The church stands on the site of an older mediæval bulding, whose nave roof it retains.
