St Nicholas' Church, Gloucester, Medieval church in Westgate Street, Gloucester, England.

The limestone structure features a six-bay nave, two-bay chancel, and a west tower with a truncated spire capped by a decorative coronet.

The church dates back to 1150, built for merchant traders near Gloucester's west gate, and received substantial modifications during the thirteenth century rebuilding phase.

The interior contains numerous monuments, including a colored effigy chest tomb of Alderman John Walton and his wife, alongside historic memorial slabs.

The church offers two entrance options: a five-step access and a level entrance with a wheelchair ramp on the north side of the building.

The tower contains sixteenth-century squints on both sides of the chancel and displays Royal Arms referencing three different monarchs above the south doorway.
