St Nicholas's Church in Fisherton Delamere, Wiltshire, England was built in the 14th century. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building,[1] and is now a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was declared redundant on 1 June 1982, and was vested in the Trust on 30 October 1984.[3]
The church, which was built in a chequerboard pattern of flint and stone, sits on a hill overlooking the River Wylye. It was built on the site of a Norman church in the 14th century and was substantially rebuilt in the 19th century.[2] In the 1830s and 1860s John Davis organised the work including the demolition and rebuilding of the chancel under the supervision of W. Hardwick, a Warminster surveyor.[4]
Inside the church is a Minton tiled reredos which may date from the 1861 rebuilding.[5]
William Herbert Allen (1863–1943) a notable English landscape watercolour artist whose career spanned more than 50 years from the 1880s to the 1940s is buried in the churchyard.
