Shoreham-by-Sea - St Nicolas Church
05 Apr 2024 |
|
Old Shoreham located on the east bank of the River Adur, dates back to pre-Roman times. The town and port of New Shoreham was established by the Norman conquerors towards the end of the 11th century.
Already in the Saxon era, a large church was built on the site. This church was significantly altered in about 1140, but parts of the Saxon structure were retained: the west and north walls of the nave are distinguished from the Norman-era work by their thickness. Otherwise, the nave was rebuilt, the old tower was removed and a new central tower replaced it, north and south transepts were added and a chancel and apse were built at the east endl The main entrance moved to the south transept, where an ornate doorway was provided.
