St Nicholas's, Nuneaton
St Nicholas's Parish Church in Nuneaton provides the sort of stately and attractive landmark architecture this town sorely needs, though it is sadly somewhat marginalised by the current road layout, which has left it separated from the town centre by part of the ring road.
Most of the present building dates from the fifteenth century, and is a grand example of a prosperous looking town church, with aisles to nave and chancel and an elegant nave clerestorey (inside spanned by the original gorgeous panelled ceiling).
The interior is elegant, attractive and very light, owing to whitewashed walls and a lack of stained glass (all the Victorian glass was destroyed by wartime bombing, except for one window in the south chapel).
As in common with most churches in this part of Warwickshire, the church is generally kept locked outside of services.
