St. Nicholas` Church (Newbury)

St. Nicholas` Church is the parish church of Newbury in Berkshire.

Close to the Market Place and the Kennet and Avon Canal, the church is a 16th century rebuild on the site of an earlier building.

Much of the rebuilding was financed by John Smallwood, the son of a London draper, who moved to Newbury and made a vast fortune. He is known in local stories as Jack of Newbury.

The chancel was restored in the Victorian period by Henry Woodyer, and there is a fine Jacobean pulpit dated 1607.
