Description
St Nicholas Church by Roy Pedersen. www.roypedersenphotograpy.com St Nicholas Church is in the village of Abbotsbury in Dorset,UK. St Nicholas Church was built as the Parish Church of Abbotsbury, along side the Abbey Church of St Peter, in the late 14th or early 15th century. The Tower contains six bells that date from 1636 to 1773. The bells were rehung in 1897. The panelled arch of the tower is characteristic of 15th century West Country architecture.
The Porch is part of the original building and it contains an effigy, in Purbeck marble, of one of the early abbots. The effigy was found on the site of the Abbey Church of St Peter in 1778 and is probably late 12th century.
