The present church of St Nicholas is the third to be built on the site. There was a chapel there in the 13th century, and the record of parish priests goes back to the 1200s. A second church was built on the site in the 17th century, at which time it was still referred to as Cumberworth Chapel. The graveyard was also established in the 17th century, and land bought for the purpose. The present church was built in the 1870s.
