St Nicholas' Church, Sturry, Norman church in Sturry, England

St Nicholas' Church features stone and flint construction, with a tower built in three stages and a tiled roof covering the entire structure.

The church foundations date from 1150, with records indicating religious activity at this location since 690 when King Wihtred granted Sturry to Minster-in-Thanet.

The structure operates as a joint Anglican and Methodist church, allowing congregations of both denominations to gather for religious services and community events.

The building includes four bay naves, a kingpost roof, and multiple architectural elements from different periods that visitors can examine during opening hours.

The churchyard contains oval bodystones and numerous 18th-century headstones decorated with detailed cherub and skull carvings marking burial sites.
