St Nicholas' Church, Durham, Grade II listed church building in Durham, England
St Nicholas' Church features intricate stained glass windows, decorated gothic architecture, and a bell tower containing five historic bells from 1687.
The original church, founded in the early 12th century by Prince Bishop Ranulf Flambard, was replaced by architect James Pigott Pritchett's new structure in 1858.
The church maintains an open evangelical tradition within the Church of England, offering regular services and community gatherings that attract local residents and students.
Sunday services take place at 9 AM and 11 AM, with morning prayer sessions held Tuesday through Friday at 8 AM, and monthly prayer meetings on first Mondays.
The church houses the oldest ring of bells in the Durham diocese, which resumed ringing in 2000 after a safety-related suspension in the 1970s.
