St Nicholas Church in Newchurch, Lancashire, England, is a Church of England parish church founded in the early 16th century.
History
The first church was thought to be made of wood and erected in 1511, and it was rebuilt in stone in 1561 in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
This was replaced by the current building, dated 1825 over the west door, which is believed to have been constructed by the parishioners themselves without the benefit of an architect. The chancel was added in 1897 by R.B Preston
It is a Grade II* listed building.
