Description
The Charnel House in the churchyard of the Church of St Michael is a churchyard building, possibly a former charnel house, which is now used as a store. It features a late medieval front but has been significantly reconstructed at the back. The structure is made of squared limestone rubble arranged in courses, topped with a plain tile roof that has a tight-clipped verge. The north side includes red brick dressing and quoins.
Facing the churchyard, there is a flat segmental chamfered opening with a 19th-century plank door. To the right of this opening is a worn cusped single light with terracotta beneath a section of straight hollow mould acting as a drip. The gable has a plain rectangular opening with a chamfered surround. The left wall contains a late opening filled with planks, while the right wall is plain. The roof structure was rebuilt in the 19th or 20th century. Additionally, a rubble wall extends to the right at eaves height, continuing to form a returned garden wall.
