The former St Nicholas’ Church, dating from the early 14th century – and now called the St Nicholas Centre – is seen here on the side of Franciscan Way (the A1022). This was a redundant Anglican church that was taken over as Diocesan offices and a conference venue in 2000. The flint tower, rising to a height of about 57ft, was rebuilt in 1886. It is thought that Thomas Wolsey (1473–1530), the Roman Catholic Cardinal and one-time Lord Chancellor in King Henry VIII's reign, lived in this parish as a boy. His father and mother are buried here and his father bequeathed money to this church in his will.
