Description

The Church of St Michael is a parish church that dates from the medieval period and later. It is constructed of flint with stone dressings, and features a 19th-century brick west wall, topped with plaintiled roofs. The church has a former round western tower, an aisleless nave with a south porch, and a vestry to the north, along with a chancel. The nave likely dates from the 11th or 12th century and includes two double-splayed windows, with surviving rubble eastern quoins that indicate the original extent of the nave. There is one 14th-century two-light window with cusped Y-tracery on the south side and a similar three-light east window. Other windows are probably from the Victorian period. The church also features a Victorian bell-cote and a 15th-century porch with a finely moulded entrance and diagonal buttresses. Inside, there is a surviving rood stair, a Jacobean pulpit adorned with blind arcading and carved decoration, and fragments of medieval stained glass. The roofs inside are of Victorian design.
