You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Church of St Nicholas, Charlwood''', is the parish church of [[Charlwood]], [[Surrey]], [[England]].  With a 12th-century tower and nave section and examples of 13th to 15th century art, fixtures and architecture, it is a [[Grade I listed building]].

==Building and its setting==
St Nicholas's smallest nave and the tower were built ((abbreviation|c.|circa)) 1080 with an addition in c.1280 and a 15th century later medieval building forming most of the remainder.  Its parts were re-ordered by architect [[William Burges]] from 1857 to 1867. The church is a Grade I listed building.<ref>((NHLE|num=1248610 |desc=|accessdate=15 March 2012))</ref>

The original church was a simple two-cell structure consisting of a nave and a squat tower without a [[crossing (architecture)|crossing]].<ref name=u/> The Norman church was enlarged in c.1280 by a new chapel with fine wall-paintings on the south wall. The church was further enlarged by the addition of a chantry chapel dedicated to Richard Saunders who died in 1480.  In 1550 the chapel was converted into a private pew.

Burges was commissioned to undertake restoration in 1858, although work did not begin until 1864 and continued until 1867.<ref name="Crook, 1981, Appendix B" >((harvnb|Crook|1981a|location="Appendix B"))</ref> During restoration, a series of 13th century wall paintings were uncovered and Burges undertook their cataloguing and refurbishment.<ref name="Crook, 1981, 226" >((harvnb|Crook|1981a|p=226))</ref> Many interior features are intricately carved and old furnishings are featured: its octagonal pulpit is Tudor and the font is pre- Victorian.  In the west window of the former nave are some fragments of ancient glass, a portion of the figure of a saint, and several other odd pieces, including two words of an inscription. Also in the first window of the north wall are two small eyelets containing roses and leaves.  Patron Richard Sander (who died in 1480) has his initials, winged dragons and his coat of arms of Sander on the fine screen, originally around his chantry chapel.

The church has a vestry for choir and clergy, and a new church room, known as the Nicholas Room. The church has its graveyard adjoining to almost all sides. On the land to the north is the Old Rectory, with two ponds, one of which is known as the rectory pond, a small fish pond.  The Old Rectory was sold in 2022. The path up to the church, in the form of a stone causeway, and the [[lychgate]] at the entrance are separately Grade II listed.<ref>((NHLE|grade=II|desc=Stone causeway in churchyard of St Nicholas>|num=1248622|date=7 April 1983))</ref><ref>((NHLE|grade=II|desc=Lychgate|num=1277824|date=7 April 198))</ref>

The baptism, marriage and death registers date from 1595.

A 25 point/paragraph survey of architectural features and furnishings with plan was written in the [[Victoria County History]] in 1911.<ref name=ma>((cite web |url=http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=42953 |title=Parishes: Charlwood |editor=H.E. Malden  |publisher=Institute of Historical Research |year=1911 |work=A History of the County of Surrey: Volume 3 |access-date=5 January 2014 ))</ref>

==Parish==
((see also|Charlwood))
((More references|section|date=March 2023))
Charlwood is a parish of the [[Church of England]] which overlaps its [[civil parishes in England|civil parish]].  This area's nearest town is [[Horley]]. The hamlet of Lowfield Heath was moved into West Sussex in 1974.  The church is ((convert|0.5|mi)) from most homes.  it is almost encircled by a bend in the low-rise built-up road which has many of the oldest homes facing this rectory and church section. The village has over 80 listed buildings.

===Parish history===
The [[advowson|right to appoint the vicar]] belonged with the [[Manorialism|manor]] to the [[Prior of Christ Church|Prior and Convent of Christ Church]], [[Canterbury Cathedral]] from at least 1231 to 1527.  A vicarage instead of a rectory was ordained by the monks before 1308–9 who would thereafter fund that position in exchange for direct receipt of all the [[glebe|rectorial land]] and the [[tithe|greater and lesser tithe]]s of the rest of the parish. After the loss of Christchurch under [[Henry VIII]]'s reforms,<ref>((Cite web |title=St Nicholas' Church' Charlwood, Surrey |url=https://www.stnicholaschurchcharlwood.co.uk/history---continued.php |access-date=2024-02-20 |website=www.stnicholaschurchcharlwood.co.uk))</ref> the rectory resumed and the right to name the rector transferred to Sir Robert Southwell with the manor, as in 1547 he transferred both to Henry Lechford, whose son Sir Richard conveyed the right to Richard Dallender in 1609.  In 1615 Dallender quitclaimed to Robert Hatton, from whom in 1622 it returned to the Lechfords.  Sir Richard Lechford, when he sold the manor of Charlwood in 1625, retained the right, selling it, however, in 1629 to Edmund Sander of Charlwood Place, by then a far taller, more grandiose manor in the parish.<ref name=ma/>

In 1644 the Bishop was compelled to [[Sequestration (law)|sequester]] the priest position to a new rector, the previous incumbent, Thomas Mulcaster, having been proceeded against by 'five or six of the very scum of the parish,' according to his own account.  This was during one of the most visible phases of the [[European wars of religion]] in England, the [[English Civil War|Civil War]].<ref name=ma/>

His son-in-law, Henry Hesketh, chaplain in ordinary to [[Charles II of England|Charles II]], was afterwards rector of Charlwood. In 1661 Edmund Sander devised all his lands and tenements here including the property of the rectory, to his sister Elizabeth Bradshaw, from whom they passed to her cousin Sir William Throckmorton, who sold in 1672 to Sir Andrew King. In 1716 the rectory and its appointment right were conveyed to Henry Wise from according to [[Owen Manning]] the trustees of [[Francis Aungier, 1st Earl of Longford]] the intermediate owner.  The property remained with the Wises until 1884, during which time the church was often served by members of that family and passed to the Rev. E. M. Gibson and some time after him it vested in the diocese.<ref name=ma/>

;Extraterritorial diocese
In terms of its relevant see of a bishop, Charlwood was 'a peculiar of [[Diocese of Canterbury|Canterbury]]' until 1846, when it was transferred to Winchester. By the rearrangement of dioceses in 1878 it was again transferred to Rochester and was added to Southwark on its creation.<ref name=ma/>

==Clergy and style of worship==
Part of the Diocese of Southwark, the style of worship is modern [[high church]], with the emphasis on music, modern hymns and language ahead of ritual.((citation needed|date=January 2013))  The [[rector (ecclesiastical)|rector]] equally serves the smaller parish of [[Sidlow|Emmanuel, Sidlow Bridge]], as one [[benefice]].<ref name=u>((cite web|url=http://www.uppermolegroupofchurches.co.uk |title=Charlwood, St Nicholas in the Upper Mole Group of Churches |publisher=Upper Mole Group of Churches |access-date=5 January 2014))</ref>

*Pre-School Praise: worship, craft, music and refreshments monthly for young children and their carers. 
*NicsMix: monthly activities, music and learning for children.
*Venture Week: An annual week of activities, held during the first week of August, for children up to 14 years.
