Description
The Church of St Michael is a Grade II* listed building located in Catwick. The church features a 15th-century west tower, while the remainder of the structure was built in 1862 by the architectural firm Mallinson and Healey. The exterior is constructed of cobbles with stone dressings, and some brick is present in the west tower. It has a graduated slate roof and is designed in the Gothic Revival style.
The west tower consists of three stages marked by off-sets and diagonal buttresses. It has a segmental head to a two-light belfry opening that features Perpendicular tracery. The nave has a four-bay layout with two-light square-headed windows that include tracery in the Perpendicular style at the center and eastern end. A pointed door with a hoodmould and monarch stops is set in a gabled projection. The transepts each have a pointed window with Reticulated tracery on the north and south sides, respectively.
The chancel is distinguished by a moulded plinth and string-course, along with buttresses that have off-sets. It contains two two-light square-headed windows with cusped ogee tracery and a pointed three-light east window featuring Curvilinear tracery, also under a hoodmould with head-stops. The building is topped with raised coped gables, each adorned with various types of cross finials.
