St Nicolas Church & Tower and Loseley Chapel

Grade II* listed building. Consecraated in 1876 - thus celebrating its 150th anniversary - the current church is at least the third on the site. It replaced a church built in 1836 (of poor quality) that had replaced a pre 13th century church that suffered from its proximity to the river.

The restored Loseley Chapel is now open to the public. Originally part of the medieval St Nicolas church, the chapel was restored when the 1836 church was built and at that time the tomb of Arnald Brocas a 14th century Rector of St Nicolas was also moved from the medieval church into the chapel. This highly important tomb of 1395, is thought to be the oldest monument in Guildford and it sits alongside the magnificent recently restored 16th to 20th century monuments of the More Molyneux family. Find out more about the links that the More family had nationally in the political and literary Tudor and early Stuart world.

Tours of the bell tower available by booking in advance.
