Description

The Church of St. Michael is a parish church that dates from the late 12th century to the early 13th century, with early 19th-century elements and a restoration completed in 1871. It consists of a single cell featuring a Norman nave and a chancel from around 1220, along with a western tower from the third period. The church also includes a north vestry, a south porch, and some restoration details from 1871. The walls are made of flint with stone dressings. Notable features include two small Norman windows at the west end of the nave, a lancet window on the south side of the chancel, and a blocked Norman doorway on the north side. The restoration introduced triple lancets at the east end, two small Perpendicular windows on the south side of the nave, a priest's door, and additional windows and a door for the vestry. The tower is constructed of red brickwork with flint panels and has corner flat buttresses, with the top finished in a dentil eaves beneath a pyramid roof. It features small Geometrical belfry windows and a larger window on the west side. The church has a single tiled roof that extends over the vestry and heating chamber on the north side. The south porch has a tiled gabled roof supported by an open timber framework resting on a base wall. Inside, the details are from the last period, including four wall monuments dating from 1800 to 1830 and a floorslab from 1727. The tower arch is a semi-circle above impost bands.
