Church Of St Michael

The Church of St. Michael is a parish church that was almost entirely rebuilt in 1849 by J.G. Bland of Market Harborough, while retaining its 13th and 14th-century tower. It is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has plain tiled roofs. The structure includes a west tower, nave, and chancel. The tower, built into sloping ground, has three stages, with the lowest stage appearing to be from the 13th century, made of ironstone and limestone squared rubble. It features a small western lancet and paired foiled lights in the bell chamber, topped with an embattled parapet.

The nave is buttressed and has a plinth and sill course, with windows featuring 2 and 3 foiled lights in the Decorated style. A large south porch is buttressed and has a coped gable, with an outer arch that is shafted and hollow chamfered, and Perpendicular style lights in the east and west walls. The nave has embattled parapets, which continue over the steep east gable, along with ridge cresting. The chancel, which is buttressed, has Decorated windows with 2 and 3 lights on the south side and 3 lights on the east, along with a plain parapet, decorative tiles, and ridge cresting.

Inside, the nave is wide, featuring a chamfered west tower arch supported on Victorian corbels. The interior of the south door has a Perpendicular style stilted arch. The roof is a king post design with long raking braces from angel corbels. The chancel arch is shafted and hollow chamfered, flanked by commandment boards. The chancel is small, with the altar raised above the general floor level and decorated with encaustic tiles. The church contains a 13th-century font, which is a rough round basin.

The stained glass windows all feature small angel figures in the upper lights. The east window is a memorial to a member of the Brudenall family from 1846, created by Powell, and includes a lacy pattern with geometric designs, heraldic emblems, and a central panel depicting the deposition from the cross. The southeast window of the nave is a memorial to a Count of Cardigan who died in 1868; despite its garish colors, it has delicate details depicting the Good Samaritan story in a medieval style. The northeast window of the nave, dating from 1875, showcases rich colors and a mannered style influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite movement.
