St Nicholas' Church in Brockley, Somerset, England dates from the 12th century, and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II* listed building.[1] The church is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust.[2] It was vested in the Trust on 1 April 1989.[3]

The Norman church has a pinnacled tower which was added in the 15th century, and the whole church was extensively renovated in the 1820s by the Pigott family,.[4] The font is Norman and there is a stone pulpit dating from around 1480.[2] Inside the church is a Royal Coat of Arms dating from 1842 by William Edkins.[5]
