Dublin Core

Title

St Nicholas Church

Description

This B listed Church was designed by Ross, Doak & Whitelaw and opened in 1957. Described as being in a 'Festival of Britain'/Modernist style, its distinctive form and particularly the copper roof make it a landmark building at a prominent road junction. The exterior and interior retain many original decorative features and fittings comprising a rectangular double height church and integrated halls. It is a vibrant hub at the heart of Sighthill.

GLOBAL CONNECTIONS

Our minister, Rev DrTom Kisitu, was born and raised in Uganda. Two African churches, the Deeper Christian Life Ministry and the Remnant Christian Network, hold their services in our church. Since opening in 1957 we have welcomed missions to and from overseas. Charity work to Romania, Bosnia and Florida has been a central strand of life at St Nicholas over decades.
