The western end of the church showing part of the burial grounds

The south or 'back' of the church

The nave and this north porch were completed in 1480

The tower is the oldest part of the church and dates from 1430

The nave, left, and right the south aisle. St Nicholas's is one of the few churches to retain some of the old box pews that used to be common before the Victorian restorations. These would have been used by the wealthier parishioners, the working class would not have had seats.

In this picture of the chancel you can just make out the walls covered in memorials to the SMITH family, many are works of art in their own right.

The font is said to have been made from an early Roman capital, it is thought to be pre-Saxon.

Two of the many SMITH memorials. The one on the left features a skull and crossbones and the other has some beautiful sculptures indicating loss and grieving.

This unique memorial is to Robert SPRIGGS and his wife Louisa. Robert was "the last Miller of Sydling" who died in 1926.

In the corner of the burial ground can be seen the end wall of a large  tithe barn which dates from the 16th century.

Sydling High Street showing the Old Vicarage, parts of which date from Tudor times.

Sydling Court has been in existence for many centuries and Court Rolls exist from the 16th Century.
