Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a parish church located in East Buckland. The tower, likely dating from the 15th century, remains, while the nave was demolished and rebuilt along with a chancel in the position of a north aisle in 1860. The church is constructed from roughly coursed stone rubble and features slate roofs with serrated ridge tiles and coped gable ends topped with apex crosses.

The structure includes a west tower, nave, and chancel. The tower has two stages, original buttresses, and an embattled parapet, with a rectangular stair turret on the north side. The tower features straight-headed bell-openings with slate louvres on the north, west, and east sides. The south side has a two-light bell-opening above a single light opening that has a 4-centred arch and chamfered surround. There is a Perpendicular three-light window above a blocked west doorway, and the tower arch to the former nave has been infilled.

Most of the windows are from the 19th century, including single light windows to the left of the south porch and to the chancel, and a two-light window to the right of the porch. The east window is a three-light design, and there are two two-light windows on the north side featuring quatrefoil tracery. The south porch has a 19th-century segmental pointed arched doorway, with an 18th-century sundial above it by T Berry.

Inside, the church has unrendered stone walls and archbraced roofs in both the chancel and nave. There are painted Royal Arms over the south porch doorway and a charity board in the vestry, along with 20th-century furnishings.
