St Nicolas Church Newbury

St Nicolas church as it stands today was completed around 1500 to 1530. There is some evidence that to suggest that the church was used as both a prison and a hospital after the Second Battle of Newbury in 1664.

    Great captures, Cherry, the church is a beautiful building. I can imagine that it served as a hospital, but as a prison as well? That’s quite surprising.

      Whilst researching for this post the history was a little sparse. That information came from a leaflet within the church, but they didn’t expand on it.

    This is such a beautiful church Cherie and your presentation of it is superb….peter:)

  5. Cherie this is beautiful. I cannot imagine something built 400 years ago as here it is old if built in the 1700s.
