Church Of St Michael

The Church of St. Michael is a parish church located in Brampton Oxnead. It features flint construction with stone dressings and some plastering, along with red brick additions. The roof is plain-tiled and extends continuously over the nave and chancel. The church includes a west tower, nave, chancel, north and south porches, and a northeast chapel that is in ruins, with a lancet window in the east wall. The building has 13th-century origins, with additions made in the late 16th and 18th centuries.

The west tower is likely from the 13th century, with a late 16th-century upper stage that has an embattled parapet. It features two-light sound openings with hollow-chamfered brick mullions and reveals, as well as stage-buttresses marking the division between the nave and chancel. The south wall of the chancel includes two lancet windows and a priest's door, while the east wall has massive brick angle-buttresses. The east gable, made of 18th-century crow-stepped brick, displays the date "H.S. 1711" in its tie-irons. The east window, added in the 19th century, features geometrical tracery.

The south porch, constructed of brick and plastered over, has a pantiled roof with a parapeted gable and dates from the 18th century. The north porch, built in the 17th century, has a crow-stepped gable and a semi-circular headed doorway adorned with moulded brick pilasters and an entablature. Inside, there are remains of a rood stair in the south wall. The chancel houses notable monuments to the Paston family, including an alabaster tomb-chest for Sir Clement Paston, who died in 1597, featuring a figure in full armor reclining beside a half-rolled mat and a kneeling figure of his wife, Alice. There is also a marble bust of Lady Katherine Paston, who died in 1636, created by Nicholas Stone, set on a pedestal with a segmental pediment above.
