Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a church built in 1848, with a mid-19th century north aisle, designed by E Gabriel. It is constructed of pennant rubble with limestone dressings and has a slate roof. The building features a nave, a later north aisle, a chancel, a northwest porch, and a west tower, all in the Gothic Revival style.

The exterior of the chancel includes angle buttresses and a small, two-centred arched three-light window with an oval window above it. The chancel has a two-light window with buttresses between, while the raised nave gable and gabled north aisle feature a two-light east window and a quatrefoil above. The north elevation has three paired windows with buttresses between and a gabled porch at the west end with a two-centred arched doorway. The south nave elevation has similar windows, and the west tower has angle buttresses, weathered bands at each stage, and paired louvred belfry lights, topped with a corbelled band beneath an ashlar parapet. A clock is located on the north side of the tower, which also features a gabled hood. The tower's doorway is two-centred arched with three orders, and it has a battened door and leaded glazing.

Inside, the chancel contains three sedilia with trefoil arches and crocketed gables in the south window, a hoodmould over the east window, and corbelled shafts supporting the cusped arch-braced collar truss roof. The moulded two-centre chancel arch rests on painted corbels. The north arcade has five bays with round shafts and painted moulded stiff leaf capitals supporting moulded two-centre arches, while there is a two-centre west arch leading to the organ loft.

Historically, this church is one of Bristol's seven Commissioners' churches and represents an advanced Ecclesiological design for its time.
