ST NICHOLAS CHURCH

This rare photograph shows the Church as it was immediately prior to restoration and alteration by Mr R C Carpenter. An outside flight of steps gave access to the galleries. The building in the rear of the two boys was a separate chantry, apart from the church, with a sundial over the two-light window above the doorway. The restoration was carried out as a memorial to the Duke of Wellington, and the Church was reopened to the public on 8 April 1854. The original of this photograph was by Mr George Ruff, 45 Queens Road, and is reproduced by kind permission of his grandson, Mr Aubrey M. Ruff, 101 Edburton Avenue, Brighton.
