Welcome to St Nicholas'

St Nicholas’ is the Parish Church of Arundel. It's home to a warm, friendly and faithful Christian community in the orthodox anglo-catholic tradition of the Church of England. Nourished by word and sacrament, we seek to be faithful disciples of Christ, living and proclaiming his gospel in our daily lives.

You will find details of our regular services on our Worship page.

Built in 1380 on the site of an earlier church, St Nicholas’ is a popular destination for the many visitors to the historic town of Arundel. The church is usually open to visitors and those who seek a quiet place to reflect and pray from 9.00 am to 5.00 pm. Please note that occasionally entry to the church is restricted due to a service or concert.

Whether you are coming to St Nicholas’ to soak up its atmosphere and find a place of solace and prayer, to view its historic architecture, or to join us in worship, we pray that in this sacred place you will be truly touched by the abundant grace, mercy and love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
