Fulbeck Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

The church of St Nicholas is mainly of three periods, which may be dated around the years 1220, 1320 and 1470. There are some remnants in the church of an earlier building, for instance, the remains of the round Norman window, which can be seen in the south wall of the nave, the piece of carved stone built into the wall in the sanctuary. These two latter pieces of Norman work were dug up inside the church when the chancel arch was being restored in 1888. The only other piece of Norman work in the church is the font which is late Norman (around 1180). About the year 1220 the church was rebuilt, its length being the same as now, its width was somewhat less, the aisles being low and narrow. The roof was steep-pitched. Of this early 13th C. church there remains the pillars, the arcades, the lower part of the tower and the lower part of the chancel. The "trefoil" doorway into the chancel and the sedilia are Early English in date. About the year 1320 the side aisles were pulled down and the present aisles, porch and north and south doorways were built. The rounded C13 moulding giving way to a C14 pattern. The south aisle was apparently used as a side chapel with an altar at the east end. There still remains the brackets on which statues stood and the piscina, the floor of which has been delicately chiselled into the form of a cross. About the year 1470 the last great alteration to the church took place. The steep pitched roof gave way to a high flat roof and the church, which until now must have been dark, was lightened by the addition of clerestory windows. At the same time the tower was heightened and much of it rebuilt. The pinnacle at the south east corner of the clerestory carries the arms of the Myddletons of Fulbeck. The crest, a Saracens head surmounting a shield with a lion rampant, a belt with escallop shells supported on either side by a Harpy and a Wyvern. The Myddletons were the owners of Fulbeck from about the year 1430 to 1480. The church contains monuments to the Fanes of Fulbeck Hall.
