St Wilfrid's Church, Hickleton, Grade I listed church in Hickleton, England

The stone building features a Magnesian limestone west tower, double aisled nave, chancel, and multiple side chapels with pinnacled and embattled exterior walls.

The church, established around 1150, received land grants from Archbishop Neville of York to the Priory of Monk Bretton in 1386 following a destructive fire.

The Halifax family financed extensive interior renovations, removing gallery and box pews while adding religious art, statuary, and Victorian stained glass windows.

The church offers on-street parking within 250 meters, bicycle security spaces, accessible toilets nearby, and welcomes visitors who arrange tours in advance.

The church lychgate displays three human skulls behind a grille, with two authentic remains and one stone replacement for the stolen original.
