Parish Church of St Michael

The Parish Church of St. Michael is a church built between 1868 and 1869 by the architectural firm Paley and Austin. It is constructed of snecked sandstone and features slate roofs. The church has a west tower, a nave, a north aisle with a parallel roof, and a chancel, all designed in a simple Decorated style.

The three-stage tower includes a south-east stair turret, angle buttresses, battlements, and a pyramidal roof. It has 3-light belfry louvres with moulded surrounds and hoodmoulds, along with a stone spout projecting from the centre of the string course below the battlements on each side. The five-bay buttressed nave features a sill-band that runs around the buttresses and windows with two cusped lights each. There is a gabled porch located at the second bay. The lower single-bay chancel matches the overall style and has a traceried east window with three lights under a hoodmould that includes figured stops.

The north aisle contains square-headed windows, each with two cusped lights, and a vestry at the east end, which has a doorway on the north side and two cusped windows in the east gable. Both the vestry and the aisle have one gargoyle each.

Inside, the church features a five-bay aisle arcade supported by octagonal columns with moulded capitals, which hold up moulded two-centred arches. The chancel arch is similarly moulded and has carved angels beneath the capitals. The wagon roof is supported by short wall posts that rise from foliated corbels. The chancel includes a moulded arched door leading to the vestry and two sedilia with cusped trefoil heads.
