St Nicholas Church is the ancient parish church of Steve­nage. The present Nor­man church replaced a much sim­pler Sax­on church in 1100 AD and like many Hert­ford­shire church­es it is built pre­dom­i­nant­ly of flint. The cur­rent Angli­can parish of St Nicholas stretch­es across the north of the town, but there are eight oth­er Anglish parish­es in Steve­nage, but only the one civ­il parish. Free but option­al small dona­tion.
