Description
The Church of St Michael is a parish church built between 1814 and 1818 by H.H. Seward for the Church Commissioners. It is constructed of ashlar stone and features a Lakeland slate roof. The church includes a west tower, a nave, a short chancel, and a north vestry. The west tower, which serves as a porch, is battlemented and has a pointed-arched doorway with a chamfered surround. All openings in the church have similar chamfers. Above the door, there is a small lancet window and a tall arched louvred bell opening with Y-tracery. The nave, which has three bays, also features similar tracery. The short chancel has a three-light east window with intersecting tracery. Both the nave and chancel gables have blind parapets with ridged coping, and the east gable of the nave is capped by a tall gabled chimney, which is mirrored by a similar chimney on the vestry.
Inside, the church has a wide aisleless nave with a flat ceiling that has coved edges, divided into panels by moulded beams with square bosses at the intersections. The chancel arch features a very broad chamfer. There is a panelled dado, and the interior includes two painted coats of arms of George III and the Greenwich Commissioners, along with framed commandments and a creed.
