The church of St Nicholas is situated to the south of the coastal village of West Itchenor. It is a small, attractive, flint dashed church which dates from the C13th. There is no division between the nave and chancel. It contains a font of similar age to the church. The east window of three lancets is typical of the Early English style. The glass in this window is most likely Victorian, while there are various saints depicted in the nave windows, and some interesting semi-abstract modern glass in the western end of the church. There are also a few surviving examples of mediaeval heraldic glass set into some of the nave windows. The church has a shingled bell-tower with a small spire. Almost the entire church is unaltered C13th, with just a few modifications to some of the window arches of the nave from the next few centuries. The South Porch and the buttressing on the west end, are however, modern.
It is listed Grade I by English Heritage Link as a fine example of a simple mediæval village church.
