Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a church of 1845, designed by C & J Trubshaw. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar dressings and a tile roof. The church comprises a western tower, nave, chancel, a south porch, and a north-eastern vestry.

The west face of the tower features a central doorway with a semi-circular, loosely Romanesque arch incorporating spaced chevron motifs, supported on colonnettes with stiff-leaf capitals. Angle buttresses are present on the tower, with offsets. Above the doorway is a two-light window of loosely Early English form, featuring steeply pitched arched lights, a roundel to the apex, colonnettes, and stiff-leaf capitals. A circular clock face sits above the window, with three Early English lancets to the belfry. The buttresses transition to clasping buttresses at the corners as the tower rises. A corbel table supports a plain parapet. A 1/4-circular staircase turret is located in the re-entrant angle of the nave and tower on the north side, becoming semi-circular as it rises above the nave, and is set with round-headed casement windows. The remainder of the tower is similar to the west face.

The south face of the nave has four bays, with a porch to the second bay from the left, featuring a semi-circular, loosely Romanesque archway with colonnettes and Early English capitals, and figurehead hood moulds. Diagonal buttresses are positioned at the angles of the nave. A cusped niche above the arch contains a figure of St Michael. The windows have two lights, of Early English form, with stiff-leaf capitals and colonnettes. The north side features three similar windows on the right, with the vestry located to the left.

The chancel has a south face of two bays with a buttress between the windows and an angled buttress at the eastern corner. The north face is similar, with a lancet window located to the left.

The interior of the church features a hammer-beam roof. There are four brass corona chandeliers with enamel inlay. A stone pulpit has an open arcade and queen quatrefoils in diamond-shaped panels, with trefoils between, and a row of dogtooth to the underside of the handrail. A pointed tower arch leads west, with a gallery above. Encaustic tiles are laid on the nave and chancel floors.
