I drive by this chruch every day on my way to work but have never been down the little lane to see it. What a gem! A lovely little church with a very shiny weather vane. What a shame it is hidden so well.

St Nicholas' Church in Brockley, Somerset, ​England dates from the 12th century, and has been designated by English Heritage as a grade II* Listed Building. The church is a redundant church in the care of a charitable trust. If you wish to enter the church there is a list of phone numbers to contact for the keys. It was vested  in the Trust on 1 April 1989.

The Norman church has a pinnacled tower which was added in the 15th century, and the whole church was extensively renovated in the 1820s by the Pigott family. The font is Norman and there is a stone pulpit dating from around 1480. Inside the church is a Royal Coat of Arms dating from 1842 by William Edkins. 

If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list”
