St Nicholas' Church, Islip, Medieval church in Islip, England.
The limestone building features a chancel, nave, north-east vestry, south porch, and west tower with intricate stonework and large windows throughout the structure.
The church dates back to 1050, with significant structural modifications in 1780 when the chancel was reconstructed and again in 1861 during architect E.G. Bruton's renovation.
Medieval wall paintings discovered in 1824 depict religious scenes including the Adoration of the Magi and a weighing of souls from the 14th century.
The bell tower contains eight bells, including five from the 17th century that were recast in 1859, plus a Sanctus bell from 1652.
Local tradition maintains that Edward the Confessor, who granted the church to Westminster Abbey in 1065, received his baptism in an earlier church at this location.
