The Church of St Nicholas, is an Anglican church in the town of Bawtry, South Yorkshire, England. Due to the proximity of the church to the wharves on the River Idle in Bawtry, the church is dedicated to St Nicholas, the patron Saint of seafarers. The building is grade I listed, and the churchyard attracts some interest as one of the first colonists aboard the Mayflower bound for the United States of America came from the area, and some of his family are buried there.
