About St Nicholas Church, Worcester (Warndon):

St Nicholas Church, Warndon is a well-preserved medieval church in Worcester whose nave dates from the early 12th century, with the chancel rebuilt in the 14th century. Built of blue lias stone and red sandstone, the church retains many historic features, including traces of a 14th century rood screen and an 18th century barrel-vaulted plaster ceiling. The interior still preserves traditional 19th century box pews, fixed to earlier low-backed pews of 15th century origin, giving the nave much of its historic character.

The chancel floor contains an important collection of 14th century hand-painted tiles made in Malvern, together with ancient memorial stones and a Jacobean altar. The unusual 15th century heptagonal font, possibly incorporating part of an earlier Roman pillar base, is lined with lead.

The east window, dating from the early 1300s, contains fine medieval stained glass, including a Madonna and Child panel from about 1325 that appeared in the Royal Academy’s Age of Chivalry exhibition.

The timber-framed tower houses three historic bells, the oldest cast in Worcester around 1440 and inscribed “Sancte Gabrihelis Ora Pro Nobis” — “Holy Gabriel, pray for us.”

This special event is not to be missed. Make sure to mark your calendars!
