Discover St Nicolas church, rooted in its landscape for 800 years
10am to 4pm Saturday 17 September
St Nicolas church, Great Coates Road, Great Coates
St Nicolas church has been a feature of the local landscape for 800 years, acting as a waypoint for travellers on land and on the nearby Humber Estuary.
This Grade I listed, ancient 13th century church is set in beautiful grounds. Look out for the gargoyles and the east facing blue clock. Medieval glass shows the arms of the Barnardistons who were lords of the manor of Great Coates in medieval and Stuart times. Sir Thomas Barnardiston has the distinction of being the original Roundhead. There are other items of note pertaining to the Barnardistons including two old brasses.
Guided visits to the church tower may be available to those who have a reasonable level of fitness and mobility.
