Sydling St Nicholas

A delightful downland village of yellow-stone and flint with some thatched cottages with a medieval wayside cross and lies in a chalk stream valley, with spectacular countryside.

The manor house is late 18th – 19th century and still shows some signs of Tudor work, and belonged once to Francis Walsingham in 1590.

The Church of St Nicholas beside the manor house and tithe barn is set amid tall trees and has been restored. It is mainly 15^th century except for the 18^th century chancel and many good 18^th and 19^th century monuments and great gargoyles on the tower.

The vicarage is 17^th century with some stone-mullioned windows.
