Visitors are most welcome to St.
Nicholas of Myra. On most mornings we have Mass or Eucharistic
Service between 10am and 10.30am. This is a time of prayer, so we
ask you not to visit during this time.
The church is open most mornings at
9.30am and closes at 12 noon, with the exception of Thursday when it
closes at 11am. On Saturday evening the church is open from 4.30pm
before the 6pm mass. On Sunday the church opens at about 10am. It is
possible to visit before the 11.30am mass. The church closes after
that mass. For further details of Services click

THE ST. NICHOLAS SIDE CHAPEL
As well as the main body of the
church, you are welcome to visit the small St. Nicholas Chapel,
which is to the right of the altar. Here you can see a beautiful
Harry Clarke stained glass window, depicting the marriage of Mary
and Joseph. There is also a new Icon of St. Nicholas of Myra
commissioned specially for the side chapel. To get a sense of this and other parts of the church

HISTORY
The present church was built between
1829 and 1834. However there has been a religious settlement on this
site for many centuries. To learn a little more about our history

PARKING
If you have come by car, you are
welcome to park in the church yard for the duration of your visit.
However once your visit has concluded you should remove your car.
The church closes at 12noon most days, and if you leave your car in
the church yard it may not be possible to retrieve it until the next
day.
DONATIONS
There is no charge for visiting our
church. But we do welcome donations. As a listed building
maintenance costs are significant. There is a box at the top left
side of the church where you can make a donation.
THANK YOU
We do hope you will enjoy your visit
and that you may also be able to enjoy the peace and tranquillity of
our church. May we thank you in advance for keeping to the times for
visiting and any little donation you can afford.
