Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael, built between 1911 and 1926 by F B Bond, is a Grade II listed building designed in a Free Gothic style reminiscent of the 16th century. Constructed from flint with Bath stone dressings and slate roofs, it features a long nave and aisles, along with a lean-to western narthex porch added during the initial phase. The crossing tower, chancel's north-east chapel, and south transept/organ loft were completed in 1926, with the flintwork not yet applied to the tower and transept at that time.

The church has an elaborate west front adorned with stone bands and dressings. The main west window is a broad two-centred arch with a five-light traceried window and traceried stone outer panels. Large stone mullions define the central three lights, extending up to a coped gable. Square corner buttresses support stone flying buttresses, one extending diagonally from the narthex and aisle corner, and another running parallel to the west front. The narthex features a crenellated parapet and a prominent centre with a large moulded arch and three stone-framed niches above, the central niche positioned at the apex of the coped gable.

Additionally, there is a three-sided projection at the south-west corner serving as a baptistery. The nave consists of six bays with three-light aisle windows and paired clerestory windows, all featuring square heads and cusping. The nave piers are chamfered, with moulded arches that die into the piers. The roof is arched and braced, supported by corbels over the piers and at the apex of the arches, with transverse aisle arches and stone rear arches for the aisle and clerestory windows.

The tower arches are wide and moulded, leading to a west rood beam. The chancel has an apsidal east end with two three-light windows on the north side. The chancel's east end is traceried, with glazing in a vesica-shaped light. A large organ gallery is located on the south side, featuring a later 19th-century wooden Gothic organ front. The church also includes a large wooden Gothic altar and reredos, intricately carved and adorned with painted panels.
