Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a parish church located in Millbrook, dating from the 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries, with later reworkings in the 19th century by the architect Butterfield, who contributed to much of the window tracery. The church is constructed of coursed ironstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features clay tile roofs. It comprises a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, a south porch, and a west tower, with embattled parapets on all parts except the chancel.

The chancel has been substantially reworked in the 19th century and includes a three-light pointed-arched east window. The north elevation features a 15th-century single light window with a square head, while the south elevation has a similar 19th-century window and a small four-centred arched doorway. The nave, originating from the 13th century, has three-bay arcades on both sides; the south arcade dates to around 1340, and the north arcade to the 15th century. To the east of the north arcade is a small pointed-arched opening leading to the aisle. The clerestory contains three 19th-century windows per side, each with two lights under flat heads.

The north aisle, dating from the 15th century, features two four-centred three-light windows on the north elevation and a blocked four-centred arched doorway, along with a square-headed two-light east window. The south aisle, dating from around 1340, has a 15th-century square-headed two-light east window. The south elevation includes a reworked 15th-century three-light window, a 15th-century doorway, a 13th-century lancet window (likely reset from the original nave), and a 19th-century pointed-arched three-light window. The south porch, built in the 19th century, is gabled and features a pointed archway.

The west tower, dating from the 15th century, consists of three stages with set-back buttresses. The bell stage has a two-light pointed-arched window on each side, while the middle stage has small single-light windows. The ground stage features a 19th-century three-light west window.

Inside, the chancel's north wall displays a carved wall tablet dedicated to William and Mary Huett, both who died in 1602, adorned with strapwork, flowers, and emblems of death, originally polychromed. Below are damaged recumbent effigies, rediscovered in the churchyard in 1919, likely representing Huett and his wife. The south aisle contains a white marble monument to Georgiana Anne Fox, who died in 1819 at the age of 10, flanked by monuments to Lord and Lady Holland, who died in 1840 and 1845, respectively, all created by Westmacott.
