St Nicholas - Medieval Church - Now an Anglican Church in West Looe, Cornwall.
From the church web site:
"Dedicated to St. Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, the 4th Century Saint who is probably more famously known as Santa Claus, St. Nicholas Church, West Looe, was built sometime in the 13th or 14th centuries and has had a varied history, originally being part of the Parish of Talland.
During the Commonwealth the church was desecrated and became the Guildhall of the borough of West Looe. However, during the restoration of the monarchy, in the reign of Charles II, it was again used for Divine Worship." Text source: (
