Description
The Church of St Michael and All Angels, built in 1867 and designed by architect William Burges, is an example of Early 13th century French Gothic architecture. It features a chancel, north vestry, nave, western narthex, and a south-west tower topped with a pyramidal timber spire covered in oak shingles. The walls are made of undressed local stone laid in thin, regular courses, with Bath stone used for decorative dressings. The nave has wide windows with plate tracery, and the west window is a large wheel window that includes sculptures representing the Four Ages of Man. Above the west doorway, there is a carving of St Michael and the Dragon. The timber narthex rests on a stone plinth and has a tiled lean-to roof. Both the nave and chancel have steeply pitched roofs covered with fishscale tiles. Internally, the roofs are made of pine, featuring a pointed, two-centred arch form, with tie beams and tall king posts.
