St Nicholas’ Church in Flimby is an Anglican parish church rebuilt in 1794, featuring early Gothic Revival elements. The structure consists of a nave and sanctuary, separated by a distinct five-pointed chancel arch. Its exterior is made of buff-coloured sandstone with a Tudor-style entrance arch and a modest bellcote above the western façade. The roof is covered with randomly coursed slate tiles, and the walls are now partially covered with a rough plaster finish. Inside, the ceiling is supported by exposed collar tie trusses with iron tie rods, highlighting the functional timber framework

The World War I Memorial in St. Nicholas' Church, Flimby, consists of two brass plaques mounted on a shared oak backing plate and is located inside the church. It was unveiled on June 16, 1920, to commemorate 48 Flimby residents who died in the First World War, with an additional section for nine victims of the Second World War. The names are engraved by rank and arranged alphabetically in two columns.
