St Nicolas Church
Heritage Open Day: The Church of St Nicolas is one of the oldest buildings in Abingdon and one of the few remaining from the great Benedictine Abbey of Saint Mary at Abingdon. Abingdon Abbey became an important Anglo-Saxon monastery in the 10th century under St Ethelwold. The Norman Conquest led to many changes, including the addition of St Nicolas‘ church, which was built in about 1170 AD. This church for lay servants and tenants on one side of the main gateway of the abbey complemented St John's Hospital for lay people on the other. The exterior of the church has changed little in recent centuries, but there were many internal changes as the result of a major restoration in 1880 and repairs to the chancel after a serious fire in 1953.
