St Nicholas' Church, Church Stoke
St Nicholas's Church, formerly called St Mary's Church until 1881, is a Church of England parish church in Church Stoke, Powys, Wales.

A church clock was installed in 1887 to commemorate the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Victoria. The church has a 13th-century square tower at the weste ...
