Church of St Nicholas, Mavesyn Ridware, Medieval parish church in Mavesyn Ridware, England
The Church of St Nicholas features a prominent west tower made of sandstone, with gargoyles positioned at its corners and lancet windows in the north aisle.
Built in 1250, this Grade I listed church underwent major modifications in 1782, resulting in the demolition of all parts except the north aisle and west tower.
The medieval north aisle, known as the Mavesyn Chapel, contains monuments and effigies commemorating the Lords of the Manor dating back to the 12th century.
The church stands 370 meters north of the River Trent at the eastern end of the village, next to the former Manor House Gatehouse.
The church holds the tomb of Sir Robert Mavesyn, who met his end during the Battle of Shrewsbury in 1403.
