" St Nicholas is the Anglican parish church of Blakeney, Norfolk in the deanery of Holt and the Diocese of Norwich. It stands just inland and about 30 m (100 ft) above the small port. Of the original 13th Century building, only the chancel remains, the rest of the church having been rebuilt in the prosperous 15th century. The chancel may have survived due to its link to the nearby friary. Unusual features include a second tower, used as a beacon, at its east end, a stepped seven-light window in the chancel, and a hammerbeam roof in the nave. Much of the original furniture was lost in the Reformation, but a late-Victorian restoration recreated something of the original appearance, as well as repairing and refacing the building itself."

Otherwise looks ok - can't think of anything omitted, and no clangers in the prose. I'll take another look later. Nominating for GA will get another set of eyes. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 13:59, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Just a minor point, but as a British subject, should the measurements be given in imperial and converted to metric? Mjroots ( talk) 09:49, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Could someone add details (number, hanging method, tenor weight) of the bells, please? The relevant parameters have just been added to {{ Infobox church}}. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 10:58, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
The caption of the lead photo states that it is the view from the northeast. If that's so, the sun appears (from the way the shadows are falling) to be in the north. Last I checked, the sun rarely appeared in the north in Norfolk. Is the caption or the photo wrong? -- Piledhigheranddeeper ( talk) 20:42, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Even though the salient facts are here, this is a very poor and badly-organised way to write an architectural description!
The west tower of this large, lead-roofed church is supported by stepped buttresses at each corner. The buttresses are constructed from flint and stone, and have arched insets on the faces.[32] They rest on stone plinths, each bearing carved shields.[18] That on the north buttress has an inaccurate rendition of the arms of the see,[2] the other has a design featuring a cross and a dolphin,[9] The tower is surmounted with crenellations and pinnacles, and has three Perpendicular lights in the belfry and a large four-light west window in the same style.[2]

I would scrap the map. Clicking on the co-ordinates takes you straight to a map page, where you can view it in any size or form you want. The map lengthens the blinking box, which takes up space for much more meaningful info. Amandajm ( talk) 00:47, 23 February 2012 (UTC)
