Description
The Church of Saint Michael is an Anglican church built around 1872. It is constructed from roughly coursed slate rubble with freestone and granite dressings, topped with dry Delabole slate roofs featuring gable ends, slightly projecting verges, and eaves with exposed rafter ends. The church has a dressed stone chimney adorned with fish scale slates and a pair of round shafts. The layout consists of a nave and chancel under one roof, with a canted end to the slightly narrower chancel. There is an organ and heated vestry transept located to the north of the chancel, and a south porch at the west end of the nave.
The church is designed in the Gothic style, with unaltered elevations that include a chamfered plinth, diagonal corner buttresses, and buttresses dividing the bays. The west façade features a 3-light traceried window with a clock face and a corbelled bell-cote above the south doorway, which has an inner pointed arch. The chancel has a traceried 2-light window. The original planked door and leaded glazing in the windows remain intact. Inside, the church has a virtually unaltered interior with a pointed chancel arch and an arch-braced and wind-braced roof structure. Notable fittings include the original font, pews, and chancel furniture.
