Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a chapel of ease built between 1850 and 1852 by Thomas Fradgley of Uttoxeter. It features hammer-dressed ashlar stone and a plain tile roof with shaped tile bands, crested ridge tiles, and coped verges. Designed in the Early English style, the church has a 4-bay nave with buttresses marking each bay division and angle buttresses at the west. It includes a south porch, a south-west bell turret, a 2-bay chancel, and a north vestry.

The nave is adorned with lancet windows, including a west window with five grouped lancets under a common hood mould that terminates in heads, and a trefoil-headed loop above. The gabled porch has a pointed arch leading to a pointed south door. The bell turret consists of three stages, with the first two featuring a single lancet each; the belfry has eight trefoil-headed openings beneath gablets and is topped with a small stone spire. The chancel has two single-light trefoil-headed windows on the north side and one 2-light window on the south. The vestry includes 2-light Caernarvon arch windows and a square-section chimney stack on the west side.

Inside, the church has a pointed chancel arch with roll and fillet moulding and moulded capitals on clustered and banded columns. The nave and chancel roofs are supported by high arch-braced collars, a ridge piece, and two pairs of purlins. The sedilia features two trefoil-headed arches with a central colonette and a hood mould that terminates in stops carved with stiff leaf motifs. The east window has colonettes and a hood mould.

Notable fittings include an octagonal stone font with a bowl featuring trefoil-headed arcading, a hexagonal stone pulpit with dog-tooth moulding at the angles and eight lobed panels on the sides, which contain carved mythical creatures, and a wooden altar rail with trefoil-headed open arcading. The stained glass in the east window depicts Christ in Majesty and St. Michael slaying the dragon, with outer panels featuring angels. There are also two windows on the north side of the nave dating from around 1894 and 1919, and one on the south side from around 1895.
