Description

Title:
Church of St. Nicholas, Little Bowden
Caption / Description:

The Church of St. Nicholas in Little Bowden, Leicestershire, England. The church is a grade II listed building. It is not known when a church was originally established here, but it is thought to be around the 12th century. Certainly, by the late 14th century the Church was well established.

The south porch of St. Nicholas' dates from the 15th century, but was restored in 1928. The Church used to be topped with a wooden belfry, but this was replaced by the current stone bellcote in 1900. At the west end of the church (shown here) is a new extension, which was completed in 2008.
