St Nicholas of Myra was dedicated in 1142 and is one of only six round towered churches in Essex; our grade I listed church is the closest round towered church to London. We are an Anglo-Catholic Church, although we hope you will find us to be quite relaxed and informal in many ways.
Alongside our weekly services we offer Morning Prayer each weekday morning on our Facebook page and a weekly online gathering on Zoom for Night Prayer each week.
St Nicholas sits at the centre of Ockendon Village and seeks to serve our community in whatever way we can.
We are committed to ensuring that St Nicholas, South Ockendon and all the churches of the Mardyke Team Ministry are a safe place for all.
The Parochial Church Council of the Mardyke Team Ministry has adopted the House of Bishops' 'Promoting a Safer Church' Safeguarding Policy Statement.
