About 700 yards away from St. John's, lying at the foot of the hill known as the Mount stands the Norman church of St. Nicholas. The exact date of the church is unknown, but it is thought to be about 1170 and was probably built by Thurstan de Montfort, Lord of the Manor, who also built the powerful Norman castle on the Mount, no trace of which remains at the present day. It is probable that the present church was built on the site of a former church, in fact some authorities consider that the rope work carving on the north side of the chancel is Saxon.

The two benefices of Henley-in-Arden and Beaudesert were combined in 1915 under one incumbent and services are now held regularly in both churches. Under a local arrangement Sunday services for the Roman Catholic congregation are also held in one of the two churches as there is no Roman Catholic church nearer than Wootton Wawen.
