Church Lane

Street guide, Wickham

Church Lane leads from the village centre towards St Nicholas Church, the parish church of Wickham. The lane is short and quiet, providing a pedestrian-friendly route to the church and churchyard. The church dates from the twelfth century and has been altered and extended over the centuries. The churchyard contains gravestones from the eighteenth century onwards and provides a green, peaceful space within the village. Church Lane has a handful of older properties, some with architectural features that reflect their proximity to the church. The lane is part of the conservation area, and its character is carefully maintained.
