St Nicolas Church, Portslade, Medieval Anglican church in Portslade, England
The St Nicolas Church features a three-bay nave with aisles, a chancel connected by a Norman arch, and a square tower with bell openings.
The church construction began around 1150 with Norman architecture elements, including twin pillars crafted from limestone imported directly from Caen, France.
Medieval wall paintings depicting the Last Judgement adorned the nave walls until 1847, when they were covered with whitewash during renovation work.
The church maintains daily services and holds multiple Sunday gatherings, serving the communities of Portslade-by-Sea and Portslade Village throughout the year.
The chancel deliberately misaligns with the nave axis, creating an architectural feature known as the Weeping Chancel, representing Christ's head position during crucifixion.
