St Nicholas - the oldest of the three town centre churches in Sutton - is surrounded by a small ancient graveyard, which is wooded.

[2] The church suffered slight damage in an air raid in 1940, during the London Blitz.

A flying bomb fell near the church and mostly destroyed some of the graves in the churchyard, but the building itself remained largely intact.

Its tower has a doorway in its west side, four tiers of fenestration and a shingled broach spire.

Inside the church are a nave with pointed arches supported on circular columns with foliated capitals; timber roofs; and whitewashed walls.
