The Castle’s Church

St Nicholas Church is a vibrant, friendly place of worship & community situated at the heart of the historic town of Warwick, opposite one of the gates to Warwick Castle and adjacent to the attractive St Nicholas Park.

The present Church was built in 1785, replacing a decaying mediaeval church, the roots of which lay in a former Saxon nunnery on the site. It is regarded historically as the Castle’s Church; hence the Earl of Warwick is a patron. Connections with the Castle go back a long way and our links are still strong today, for example, our Choir sings on the Castle Tower at sunrise on Ascension Day.

Our main Sunday Service takes place at 10am and we enjoy a variety of services – formal and informal. We are a friendly and inclusive church which seeks to welcome everyone including families, children and those who live alone.  We have recently started a children’s club for ages 3 to 12 years, which meets fortnightly during the service.

Music plays a significant part in the worship at St Nicholas – we have a new combination/hybrid organ, a robed choir (adults & children) and we hope soon to add once again the sound of the bells when the repairs to our grade 1 listed spire are completed.

Visitors are always welcome – do come and look round. [By arrangement until spire work completed – Nov 2011]. Or, even better, why not come on a Sunday morning at 10am to join us in our worship – you will be most welcome!
