St Nicholas Church, Moreton

St Nicholas Church in Moreton is an architectural gem featuring extraordinary engraved glass windows created by artist Laurence Whistler. Every window in this simple country church glows with Whistler’s delicate engravings depicting religious themes, rural scenes, and natural imagery in stunning detail. The church gained added significance as the burial place of T.E. Lawrence (Lawrence of Arabia), whose grave lies in the churchyard beneath a simple marker. A memorial window shows Lawrence’s face and commemorates his extraordinary life. The church’s peaceful setting, remarkable glass art, and connection to one of history’s most enigmatic figures create a deeply moving atmosphere. The building itself, reconstructed after bomb damage in 1940, offers elegant simplicity that perfectly showcases Whistler’s ethereal artworks. Free entry and a warm welcome from church guardians make this a must-visit hidden treasure.
