Church Of St Michael

The Church of St. Michael is a church built in 1848 by Mallinson and Healey, designed in the Early English style. It is constructed of dressed stone with a slate roof. Originally a single-aisled structure, it has been expanded to include a south aisle and chapel. The church features a nave and aisles under a three-span roof, along with a chancel and a west tower.

The tower is three stages high, embattled, and has angle buttresses. It includes a pointed arched doorway and a two-light west window with a trefoil head, which extends into the second stage that has small printed lights on two faces. The third stage features a pointed arched belfry and later clock faces, with an octagonal vice at the north corner that rises higher, topped by an octagonal spire. The aisles are marked by five bays of pointed arched two-light windows with cusped lights and quatrefoils above, each bay separated by offset buttresses. The north aisle has an additional blind bay.

Attached to the south side of the chancel is a small chapel with a panelled tracery window on two canted faces. The chancel itself has offset diagonal buttresses and a three-light east window with a Gothic rose window. The gable is coped, featuring carved kneelers and a cross at the apex. A string course runs around the building beneath the window sills. There is a low vestry at a right angle to the chancel on the north side, which has a hip roof and a four-light window with a trefoil head and spandrels, as well as a pointed arched doorway in the right-hand return wall.

Inside, the nave has five bays with open arcades leading to the aisles, supported by octagonal columns with moulded capitals and pointed arches. The arch-braced roof rises from corbels. The chancel has three bays, with walls entirely covered in mosaics depicting the Apostles and Northern Saints, and features a waggon roof.
