Detail InformationEdit

St Nicholas Church is a Church of England parish church in Worth, a village in Crawley, England. At one time it had the largest geographical parish in England. The church is of Saxon origin, and parts of it probably date to between AD 950 and 1050. It was built in what at the time was a forest. The reason for building a church here is unknown, but the area may have had good hunting grounds, and royal or noble visitors to the grounds would need a place to pray in comfort.
In 1986 workmen were treating roof timbers of the church for protection against vermin when a fire broke out. The fire brigade quickly put out the blaze, saving the main building, but the roof timbers were severely damaged. This rendered the building unstable, however, which resulted in much scaffolding being put up, which in turn required pews and flooring to be removed.
The roof was redesigned and the walls were strengthened. New floors and pews were fitted. Worth Church is still in use as a parish church with at least two services each Sunday and a midweek Eucharist on Wednesdays. It performs ceremonies such as weddings, baptisms and funerals. About 150 people are officially on the parish’s electoral roll, and up to 400 people attend major services at Christmas and Easter.
