Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a church built between 1875 and 1877 by architect T.H. Wyatt. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features a Welsh slate roof. The church consists of a nave, a south-west tower topped with a saddleback roof, north and south transepts, and a lower chancel with a south vestry and an apsidal east end.

The west wall showcases two lancet windows and a cusped round window at the apex, with a niche between them that holds a statue of St Michael flanked by two angels. The tower is supported by angle buttresses and has paired lancet bell openings on the east and west sides. Recessed circles with central quatrefoils and pierced surrounds are found within the gables. A gabled porch on the west side projects slightly and features a moulded pointed doorway with angle shafts.

Each wall of the nave has two paired lancets, with an additional single lancet on the north side towards the east. The transepts each contain two lancets and a cusped vesica. The chancel roof slopes downwards over the vestry, while the five-sided apse has pointed windows.

Inside, the nave roof is supported by arch-braced trusses that rise from corbelled wallposts, alternating with scissor-braced principals. Moulded pointed arches lead from the crossing to the transepts and the chancel, with the inner orders springing from engaged shafts with foliated caps. The chancel features a boarded barrel roof, and the apse walls are adorned with coloured tiles below window sill level, incorporating double sedilia under pointed heads and a trefoiled piscina. Pointed arches on the north and south sides of the chancel house the organ pipes and console. The font has a quatrefoil plan and is supported by a stem of four round columns. The east windows are filled with late 19th-century stained glass.
