St Nicholas has been at the heart of Arundel for thousands of years.

The present Church building dates from 1380 and incorporates the Fitzalan Chapel which is part of the Castle complex.

The Church aims to serve the people of Arundel and district in many ways but it's main focus will always be the worship of God.

The private chapel of Arundel Castle is attached to the St. Nicholas Anglican church, (entry via the castle)
This design allowed the Dukes and their families to observe their Catholic faith in Protestant England, especially during the Reformation, when Henry VIII, tried to abolish Catholicism. In 1879, however, in what was known as the Fitzalan Chapel case, John Duke Coleridge, Lord Chief Justice of England, ruled that the Chapel was not part of the Protestant St. Nicholas' and thus should be a separate, Catholic ecclesiastical structure. Today, a glass wall and iron grille divide the Chapel from St. Nicholas'.
