The name derives from its location on the western border of the Isle of Thanet
(originally seperated from the Kent mainland). Before the channels of the River Wantsum and River Stour silted up, one would have been able to 'wade' at this point.
In Roman times the channel was navigable and the site likely very busy with the Saxon Shore Forts of Regulbium and Rutupiae both close by. Remains of Roman shipbuilding yards are said to have been found between St. Nicholas-at-Wade and the nearby village of Sarre.

Church of St. Nicholas

The 13th century church is thought to have originally been a chapel-of-ease for the erstwhile St.
Mary's church at Reculver. The first Rector is recorded as Adam de Brancaster in 1294.

Built in flint, the church houses some fine 16th century brasses and the Royal Arms of King George III. A carved oak pulpit is dated 1615.

The parish has twice been enlarged, firstly joined with the little-known parish of All Saints, Shuart[3]
in early medieval times (the church at Shuart was demolished in the 17th century) and latterly in the mid-16th century twinned with St. Giles in Sarre. The benefice is currently part of the
Wantsum Group of Parishes.

there's quite a few there, and takes a while to load in. There's nothing there that makes me go wow, and nothing that makes me think what was you thinking when you took the shot. Of them all the third is the best.

There are a few shots, like the door, that just need a bit of light, I'd guess that they were taken where the sun was shining. The cross grave stone and Ivy looks a bit bland and perhaps need work to make the picture stand out, personally I'd probably send it to digital heaven.
 
Thanks for the comments and noted , i wouldn't send it to digital heaven as i had two people requesting wallpapers of that cross grave stone. The church pictures got alot of good responses on other places... Though a few pictures after awhile even i thought meh i really don't like those , but the hdr ones and the external shots i'm incredibly pleased with. Not sure if you noticed i took alot of the images out , the ones at the moment i like the best.
 
I agree that 18 pictures in one post is far too many to load, veiw and comment on.
It also helps people comment if you number each one.

I like no8 in the first post the best, with a bit of tweaking to make it stand out (y)
