Church Of St Michael And All Angels

The Church of St Michael and All Angels is a church dating from the 13th to 15th centuries, with repairs from the 18th and early 19th centuries. A south arcade was rebuilt around 1887. It is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble and coursed squared ironstone, with limestone dressings, and lead roofs. The church comprises a chancel, an aisled nave, north and south porches, and a west tower.

The two-bay chancel features a three-light east window with foils to the lights, a two-centred arched head with label stops, a one-light window to the south with a pointed head of red brick, and a two-light window to the northeast with Y tracery. A former priest's door to the northwest is now a window, and is otherwise blocked. The four-window clerestory of the nave has limestone and three-light windows with four-centred arched heads and hood moulds. The north aisle has two-light windows at either end, and a three-light window to the northwest with Y tracery, and a three-light window to the northeast with intersecting tracery, all with hood moulds. The north doorway has a hollow chamfer and a sunk quadrant moulding, imposts, a hood mould with label stops, and a medieval door with long wrought-iron hinges. An 18th-century porch of red brick has a round-headed doorway with limestone imposts and a key block. The south aisle has three-light windows with triangular heads and hood moulds. A worn south door has imposts with nailhead ornament. Another 18th-century south porch of red brick has a round-headed doorway, now blocked at the sides except for the head, with limestone imposts and a key block. A sundial dated 1735 is set in the south aisle. The west tower has a two-light west window with ogee-arched heads to the lights, a quatrefoil to the head, and a hood mould. A niche above has a nodding ogee head of limestone. The bell-chamber has two-light openings with foiled heads to the lights, transoms, two-centred arched heads, and hood moulds. Battlemented parapets of limestone are present on the tower, the nave, and the aisles.

Inside, the nave has three-bay arcades with octagonal piers, polygonal responds, moulded bases and capitals, and double-chamfered arches. A font is octagonal, with a panelled stem, shields in quatrefoils to the bowl, and angels with spread wings to the angles of the underside. A stained-glass window in the northeast aisle is by Westlake, dated 1913. A slate wall monument, with gilded incised ornament and lettering, commemorates Joseph Shilcock, dated 1786, and is signed W Barnes. A similar wall monument commemorates William Shullock, dated 1813, and is signed Swain Clawson.
