Church Of St Michael

The Church of St. Michael is a parish church located in East Anstey, with a 15th-century tower and south porch, while the rest of the structure was rebuilt in 1871 by Ashworth. The building is made of unrendered stone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a slate roof with gable ends. The layout includes a west tower, nave, chancel, and south porch.

The 15th-century west tower has two stages, an embattled parapet, diagonal buttresses, and a northeast stair turret. Each face of the tower has cusped headed 2-light bell-openings with slate louvres. There is a Perpendicular style 3-light west window with replaced mullions from the 19th century, situated above a pointed arched doorway with a double ogee moulded surround. To the left of the south porch, which has a gabled slate roof, is a late Perpendicular straight-headed window with three 4-centred arched lights. The inner doorway of the porch has a chamfered surround. The remaining windows are in a 19th-century Perpendicular style, including a 3-light window to the right of the porch, a 2-light window on the south side, and a 3-light window at the east end of the chancel. The north side of the nave is blind.

Inside, there is an 18th-century pulpit with panelled sides and a timber base, along with 18th-century communion rails featuring barley sugar balusters. The church also has a 19th-century font, arch-braced roofs, a chancel arch, and tiled floors, with mid-20th-century nave furniture. A wall tablet by Kendall of Exeter on the north wall of the chancel commemorates Rev. John Bond, who died in 1807.
