Church of St Nicholas, Willoughby

1 Chancel, nave, N and S aisles and porches, and W tower. Built at the beginning of the 16th century, the tower being the last part to be completed. Tower W buttresses carved with a date which appears to be 1530. Tower and porches of ashlar, the rest of the church of sandstone rubble with worked dressings. Chancel almost entirely rebuilt in brick, rendered with cement lined out with joints to imitate ashlar. Upper half of the S aisle has been rebuilt partly in stone, partly in brick rendered with cement. Unusual font, probably early 13th century in date. The church is recorded in 1246.
