Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a Grade II listed building located on Church Street in Broadway. It was built in 1839 by H. Eginton and underwent restoration in 1890. The church is constructed from limestone ashlar and features a tiled roof. Its layout includes a west tower, a nave with a clerestorey, north and south aisles with pitched roofs, a lower chancel, and north and south porches at the east ends of the aisles.

The tower consists of four stages separated by string courses and is supported by angle buttresses, topped with a solid parapet. It features corner pinnacles with niches, and the bell openings are made up of two pointed lights with angle shafts. The west wall displays a lancet window set within a blind arcade of three pointed arches, with a clock positioned above it. The west doorway is moulded and pointed, featuring angle shafts and a gabled hood with a poppyhead. The west windows of the aisles consist of two pointed lights beneath pointed heads with quatrefoils. The aisles are divided into five bays by buttresses and have lancet windows. The porches are designed with angle buttresses, moulded pointed doorways, and small triple stepped lancets beneath their gables.

The chancel, which has two bays, includes pointed windows with angle shafts, and the east window features triple stepped lancets with angle shafts. The north-east buttress is inscribed with the year "1839".

Inside, the tower houses a staircase with stick balusters leading to the west gallery. The five-bay arcades of pointed arches, chamfered in two orders, spring from round piers with four engaged shafts. The interior also features plastered quadripartite vaults, likely added in 1890, which spring from wall shafts. The west gallery accommodates an organ. The chancel arch is pointed and chamfered in two orders. A timber chancel screen serves as a memorial to those who died in the First World War. The chancel includes carved timber choir stalls and a stone reredos, while the windows contain early and mid-20th century glass. The timber pulpit, although restored, appears to date from around 1600 and features carved decoration and a sounding board.
