This is a beautifully kept church with Saxon origins and Norman extensions. There are four round Norman arches in the tower containing carvings of limpets, shells, wheel studs in addition to human faces. It has been suggested two of these may be either Henry I and his wife Adeliza or King Steven and his queen Matilda.

St Nicolas Church is a Saxon church that was built in the 10th century. Wonderfully-ancient, the church is recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086 and was quite possibly built on the site of a 5th-century church. Whilst there has inevitably been restorations over the years, the church still retains some original features, especially in the nave walls. St Nicolas Church, which is Grade I-listed, is situated on the River Adur, close to another interesting sight, Shoreham Tollbridge.
