St Nicholas Church, Shepperton

St Nicholas Church traces its roots to the 7th century. Evidence suggest that the early church was made from wood and thatched with reeds. It was reconstructed in the 12th century using stone and flint. However, the 1605-06 high floods inundated the church. The present building was completed in 1614. In 1714, the tower was added at the suggestion of Queen Anne.
