St Nicholas' is a Church of England parish church at Moreton, Dorset, England. It is known for its thirteen windows, engraved by the poet and artist Sir Laurence Whistler. T. E. Lawrence was buried in the separate churchyard.
Moreton Church takes its responsibilities surrounding the safeguarding of children, young people, and adults who may be at risk very seriously, and works in partnership with the Diocese of Salisbury to ensure that we work in accordance with best practice at all times.
It was built in 1776 and is an unusual shape, almost square, with a large semi circular apse. The south side is particularly graceful, with an ogee headed doorway under the tower. The inside is flooded with light from the large windows.
