Church Of St Michael And All Angels

The Church of St Michael and All Angels is a church with origins dating back to the late 12th century, which has been rebuilt in stages during the 19th century. The chancel was rebuilt in 1821, the north aisle in 1829 and again in 1905, and the tower was added in 1831 to replace a wooden belfry. The south aisle was rebuilt by the architect G.E. Street in 1857. The church is constructed from coursed limestone rubble and squared, coursed limestone, with slate and lead roofs.

The layout includes a chancel, nave, north and south aisles, a west tower, and a south porch, featuring a four-window range. The chancel has a 19th-century three-light window in the Perpendicular style and two two-light lancet windows on the north and south sides, each with quatrefoils in the heads. There is a pointed arched priest's door on the south side. The north aisle contains a restored three-light window in the Decorated style on the east, three two-light lancet windows on the north with quatrefoils, and a two-light Reticulated window on the west. The south aisle features restored and 19th-century two-light Decorated style windows on the east, south, and west, along with offset buttresses.

The nave has two two-light Perpendicular clerestory windows with leaded lights and square heads on the south side, and two similar 19th-century windows on the north. The south porch is also from the 19th century, while the south doorway has been restored to its 12th-century form. The west tower consists of three stages with diagonal buttresses and a shallow 19th-century stone parapet. It includes a pointed arched south doorway, a lancet window at the first stage, and a two-light Decorated window with louvres at the bell-stop, along with diagonal buttresses and a string course to the upper stage.

Inside, the chancel features a 19th-century roof, while the nave has a five-bay arched tie beam roof with renewed purlins. The north arcade consists of two bays from the 12th century with round piers decorated with trumpet scallops on the capitals, while the south arcade has three bays in the Perpendicular style, with two piers featuring grotesque heads. There is a medieval screen and a pulpit adorned with 16th-century panels. The church has two fonts, one in the Perpendicular style and the other dating from 1880, along with 19th-century fittings and furnishings that include carved bench ends.
