Description
The Church of St Michael and All Angels is a parish church that features a late 14th century west tower, a nave built in 1888, and a chancel along with a south chapel constructed in 1871 by C. Kirk. The church is made of coursed ironstone with slate roofs. The three-stage tower is supported by angle buttresses and includes a lancet west window, a single light window for the ringing chamber, and two-light belfry windows, all dating from the 19th century. There is a string course below the belfry and beneath the crenellated parapet. The gabled south porch was added in 1888, and it has two 2-light south windows in a late Flowing style, separated by stepped buttresses. The north side features four similar window bays, while the chancel has three lancets on the north side and one on the south. The south chapel extends into the nave and is similarly lit by lancets, with three stepped lancets at the east end.
Inside, there is an octagonal traceried font with a 15th-century stem and an 1888 bowl. The tower arch is triple chamfered and rests on corbels. The nave roof, built in the 19th century, has scissor braces and five subsidiary arched braces on corbels. The chancel arch features Early English circular responds on waterholding bases with moulded capitals, flanked by hollow chamfer mouldings, and the arch itself has undercut mouldings. The chancel roof is a simpler version of the nave roof, lacking arched braces, and the windows in the chancel are shafted on the interior. The chapel contains a three-bay arcade of double columns arranged as a screen. There is also a mid-17th century panelled pulpit, of which only three sides remain. In the porch, there is an interlace Saxon stone with a cable border.
