The Norman Church of St Nicholas in Barfreston dates from about 1180 and is one of the most important examples of late 12th century church architecture in Europe. Located in the county of Kent, this church has an impressive array of finely detailed carvings.

Rare Norman Wheel Window: On the eastern facade is a rare Norman style wheel window. This window has rays consisting of columns with capitals of animal heads and a frieze of winged beasts and leaf motifs.

No Tower, But A Clock: Remarkably, the church has no tower. The church bell hangs outside in a yew tree and is operated via an ingenious system of pulleys.
