St Nicholas's Church, Medieval parish church in Grosmont, Wales.

The sandstone structure features an octagonal tower, transepts, a chancel, and a secondary chapel, reflecting the English Gothic architectural style throughout its design.

Built in the early 13th century, St Nicholas's Church underwent substantial reconstruction between 1869 and 1879 under architect J.P. Seddon with funding from landowner John Rolls.

The interior space maintains its medieval character through strong thirteenth-century arcades and contains an unfinished knight memorial from the late 13th century.

The church remains open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering regular Sunday services at 11:00 AM and additional morning prayers on Tuesdays at 9:30 AM.

The nave roof, constructed around 1232 using timbers felled between 1214 and 1244, stands as the oldest scientifically dated church roof in Wales.
