Church Of St Michael

The Church of St. Michael is a parish church located on the north side of Rochester Road in Cuxton. It dates from the 12th century, with additions and alterations made in the 13th and 15th centuries. The church was restored between 1863 and 1868 by Mr. Stump. It is constructed of flint with tufa quoins, incorporating much reused Roman material. The building features a west tower, a nave with a north porch and a south chapel, and a chancel. The unbuttressed west tower is from the 15th century. The nave has three bays and a south aisle added during the 1863-68 restoration. The chancel includes a Norman window on the north side with splayed jambs.

Inside, there is a three-bay south arcade supported by round piers. The chancel arch was widened in the 15th century, and there is a wide arch leading to the south rood stair. A Perpendicular rood-screen has been reset in the tower arch. Notable interior features include a 13th-century wall painting of a leaf on the splays of a former window, a bench with poppyhead decoration in the porch, and choir stalls with linen-fold panels. There is also a monument to Ann Harley, who died in 1603, featuring a wall monument with Corinthian columns, obelisks, and a top achievement enclosing a panel.
