Description
The Church of St Michael is a parish church dating back to Norman times, with significant alterations and rebuilding in the 15th and 19th centuries. The west tower was rebuilt in 1887, constructed of flint with red brick dressings and a brick embattled parapet, retaining a Norman tower arch. The nave and chancel walls also originate from the Norman period. Three large south windows with straight heads are visible on the south side of the nave. A 15th-century south porch features flushwork panelling, finials, and a niche above the entrance, and is topped with an arched brace roof. A late 19th-century north aisle has been added, incorporating a two-bay arcade. The chancel arch is of the Perpendicular style. The nave roof displays crenellated tiebeams, arched braces, and carved bosses. A 15th-century octagonal font stands within the church, along with a Stuart Royal Arms display. The building is constructed of flint with stone dressings, and has lead and tiled roofing.
