St. Nicholas Church Compton
The building represents 900 years of history, and contains relics of an even earlier age, for in the structure of the tower can be seen pieces of Roman tiles salvaged from ruined buildings after the occupation. The basic structure, including the tower, is Saxon, but it has been much altered over the centuries. For
example, the influence of the Norman's can be seen in the arches, the timber roofing (thought to date back to 1165) and the unique carved wooden screen in the chancel. Other features were added in the generations that followed, such as the spire (14th century), the pulpit and the clock (17th century).
