North Grimston - St Nicholas

North Grimston - St Nicholas
The church was built of stone in the 12th century. Its tower was added in the 13th century. The church was extended in the 17th century. It was restored in in the late 19th century.


The Norman/Romanesque font is the treasure of this church. It could actually be as well Anglo-Saxon, as some scholars say. As even if it would have been created later than 1066 the Anglo-Saxon carvers continued to work.
