St Nicholas Church Pillows

St. Nicholas Church in the Parish of Strathbrock, West Lothian, Scotland. The Parish of Strathbrock was created in 1976 when the Parishes of Ecclesmachan (which had become vacant) and Uphall North were united by West Lothian Presbytery. The new parish is a mixture of rural and lightly urban land stretching from the farmlands of Bangour through the villages of Ecclesmachan and Uphall. As a result of boundary changes part of Dechmont and the hamlet of Threemiletown were lost but the housing areas of North West Broxburn were added. The Parish has two beautiful old Churches steeped in history; St Machan in Ecclesmachan and St Nicholas (shown here_) in Uphall. St. Nicholas Church dates from the 12th century.

The Church of St Nicholas, Uphill Number of views as of 22nd May 2019 = 1540. The old church of St Nicholas (Uphill, near Weston-super-Mare, Somerset, England) stands on a hill overlooking Brean Down and the mouth of the River Axe. There are superb views across Weston Bay and the Bristol Channel across to Wales.
