St Nicholas', built in 1911, was the National Nautical School College Chapel until 1980. It was purchased by the Portishead Parish in 1985. The College used the training ship ‘Formidable’, an old wooden warship used as a reformatory from 1869-1906 for up to 300 boys from the streets of Bristol, who were trained as seamen. When it was replaced, part of the ship was incorporated into the main altar of St Nicholas' Church. It is a Grade II listed building (List Entry Number: 1255545 https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1255545 Historic England).
