St Nicholas' Church is a church in Stretton, Rutland. It is a Grade II* listed building.
The small church consists of nave with north aisle, chancel, north and south transepts and a south porch. There is no tower but a double bell-cote. It was built 1086-1185 when it was owned by the Knights Templar.[2] Most of the church was built in the 13th century.[2] A major Victorian restoration, by James Fowler of Louth, took place in 1881.[2] The two bells date from 1663 and 1710.[3] Most of the stained glass in the windows is by Clayton and Bell.[4]
Edward Bradley (rector of Stretton, 1871–83), who wrote as Cuthbert Bede, and who funded its restoration, is buried in the churchyard.
