St Nicholas

My local church in Great Bookham where I live. Usally known as St Nicks. Great Bookham is a village in Surrey, England, one of six semi-rural spring line settlements between the towns of Leatherhead and Guildford. The Bookhams – Great and Little Bookham – are part of the Saxon settlement of Bocham, "the village by the beeches", the latter being a very narrow strip parish. They are surrounded by common land. 


The church is mentioned in the Doomsday book. A longer history can be found here: http://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/surrey/vol3/pp326-335#h3-0003
