The Church of Saint Nicolas is a CoE parish church in Abingdon, in the English county of Oxfordshire (formerly within Berkshire).
The church was added to the gateway of the already-existing Benedictine Abbey of Saint Mary around the year 1170, although the oldest remaining piece is reportedly from 1180.
While the monks used the abbey church, St Nicolas's was built for their lay servants and tenants.
The Normans propagated the cult of Saint Nicholas and many English churches are named after him.
