St Nicholas Church, Great Wilbraham, Church Street, Great Wilbraham, Cambridgeshire, CB21 5JP.

There has been a church in Great Wilbraham since Saxon times, with parts of the present building dating from the 12th Century. Over the last 900 years, the building has been enlarged and altered as the needs of the village have changed. It has remained a focal point as a landmark and a place of continuous worship, baptisms, weddings and funerals.

The church is prominent in Church Street, a continuation of the High Street. Great Wilbraham is easily accessed from the A14 and A11. There is a mini roundabout leading to Angle Lane on the Westside, providing easy parking off Church Street. You can view a map of St Nicholas Church in Great Wilbraham.
