Set high on the Berkshire downs, the beautiful church of St. Nicholas was erected in 1220 on the site of an earlier building dated from 1146 A.D. With its original flint walls, nearly three feet thick, it has endured, with some extension and alteration, for almost eight centuries.
The original church or chapel was probably the east end only what is now vestry, altar and chancel area. This would account for marks of bell ropes on the masonry of the east side of the chancel arch. At some time, an extension was added and now forms the nave and bell tower areas.
During the fourteenth century, Perpendicular style windows were inserted in place of three of the original lancet windows in the chancel. The three lancets above the altar are in the Early English style, having tall pointed arches with dogtooth decoration.
The chancel arch between chancel and nave is narrow and pointed, with the corbel shaft on the north side terminating in a serpents head, and that on the south side in a tail. The north doorway, once used by the occupants of Beedon Manor, has been blocked up, but the priests door in the chancel remains.
The magnificent nave roof dates from the late fourteenth century, and is of plain oak with purlins stiffened by wind braces. Above the west end of the nave is the tiled bell-cote of 1882, with shingled spire, supported on huge pitch-point timbers rising from the floor. The belfry contains six bells, of which three date from the seventeenth century.
