Church of St Michael York Town

The Church of St. Michael in York Town is a church built between 1849 and 1851 by H. Woodyer, with arcades and aisles added in 1858-1859 and a tower completed in 1891. A 20th-century extension is located to the northwest. The church is constructed of free stone with stone dressings, featuring a coursed Bargate stone tower and a broach spire, along with brick extensions. The roofs are plain tiled with stone coped kneelers.

The layout includes an aisled nave with a chancel to the east and a vestry to the northeast, complemented by a gabled stone porch to the south and a tower at the west end. The two-stage tower has a polygonal stair turret at the southwest corner and ashlar offset angle buttresses at the remaining corners. The spire is adorned with two roundel bands and has gabled stone louvred traceried openings at the base, set against a foliage frieze. The first stage of the tower features double louvred stone traceried openings on all lower faces, a large stone tracery window on the west face, and a clock on the south side. Above the double doors in a hooded surround on the south side is a canopied niche housing an image of the Archangel Michael.

The aisles have three gabled through-eaves stone traceried windows, and the nave roof includes triangular wood dormers. The chancel is fitted with lancet windows that have continuous hood and sill string courses. The south door is located in the gabled porch, which features quatrefoil windows on the east and west sides, and is flanked by coloured stone columns. The entrance has double planked doors set within a steep triangular head surround.

Inside, the church features stone and brick construction with 19th-century fittings, including an octagonal stone font. Due to its prominent position on a hill, the spire is a dominant feature in the town's skyline.
