St Nicolas' is an Anglican parish church in Guildford, England.
The church is on the left bank of the River Wey. It is next to non-motor vehicle Friary Bridge, the only such bridge of the town centre. It is directly beyond the foot of High Street, Guildford. It is one of the three ancient parishes of the town. The other two have combined in their ministry, Holy Trinity and St Mary’s, on the right bank of the river which had the majority of the townsfolk until the 20th century when the two sides of the river became more equal.
The parish extends to the north where it takes in the railway station and other streets to the east side of Bray Road and Ridgemount which are toward the Cathedral, all on the same bank of the river. It extends on the same bank to the south as far as the edge of the town of Godalming, to include Loseley Park. The southern manor: Artington has a listed early medieval ruined church with low crumbling walls on a hillside near the River Wey surviving. It is the only set of ruins church/chapel walls in the borough. The former owners the Loseley family have a Victorian wing (chapel) on the south side.
John Mason Neale wrote and/or composed: Good King Wenceslas, O happy band of pilgrims: Deacon (junior clergy).
