Construction of the present St Nicholas’ Church began in 1872 when its foundation stone was laid; it was consecrated just over a year later, on September 4th 1873. Originally it was to have had a fine spire, where the north porch now stands, but escalating costs eventually prevented this and the resulting building was relatively plain and modest. However, over the next twenty years, as the Parish grew and prospered, significant additions and alterations were made to create the present distinctive appearance of the church on the corner of Bridge Road and Mersey Road (https://stnicholasblundellsands.org/the-church/about-2/ History of St Nicholas’ Church). The church, with its distinctive copper-clad fleche, is a grade II listed building (Historic England List Entry Number: 1257680 http://www.heritagegateway.org.uk/Gateway/Results_Single.aspx?uid=1257680&resourceID=5 heritage Gateway).
