Wrentham St Nicholas' church. The parish church of Wrentham, dedicated to Saint Nicholas, is located approximately 1 mile (1.6 km) to the west of the village center. This historical church boasts a mix of architectural elements from different periods. The tower, porch, and south aisle of the church date back to the 15th century, representing a notable example of medieval architecture. In contrast, the north aisle is a Victorian addition. The chancel, believed to be the oldest part of the church, likely dates back to the 13th century. It is characterized by its distinctive red-brick flying buttresses, which support the structure.
Both the nave and chancel of the church are remarkably spacious. The south aisle features wooden posts along the south wall, providing support for the roof beams. Inside the north aisle, there is a medieval stained glass window that depicts St. Nicholas, believed to be one of the oldest surviving pictures in England.
