St Nicholas' Church is a special old church in South Ferriby, North Lincolnshire, England. It belongs to the Church of England. This building is so important that it's officially protected as a Grade II* listed building. This means it's a very important historical place!
The Church's Long History
The main part of the church, called the nave, has been around since at least the 1200s. Imagine how many people have walked through its doors over the centuries! The windows you see today were added a bit later, between the 1300s and 1400s.
The church got some updates in the early 1800s. This included adding the top part of its tower. Then, in 1889, a designer named C. Hodgson Fowler gave it another makeover.
One really cool feature is a special carved stone panel called a tympanum. It's from a very old style of building called Romanesque architecture. This ancient carving is still right above the door in the church's porch, just where it was placed long ago.
