Background
History
Barton-le-Clay was mentioned in the Domesday Book. St Nicholas' Church was first mentioned in 1178. It was mentioned by Pope Alexander III as being part of Ramsey Abbey. This continued until the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII of England when it became property of the Church of England under The Crown. As it was treated as part of the Abbey, The Crown retained the right of presentation which had always been granted except in 1660 when the Bishop of Ely made the collation.
Architecture
The church was rebuilt in the 13th century, with the nave being expanded in the 14th century with the church tower being built in the 15th century. The west end features a thirteenth-century lancet window. The south aisle is more modern but contains 13th century stones in prominent places under the windows.
