Church Of St Michael

The Church of St. Michael is a small Anglican church with Norman origins. The chancel was rebuilt in the 13th century or early 14th century, and the tower underwent alterations in the 18th century. The church was restored in 1909. It is constructed of random coursed rubble stone with quoins and features a stone slate roof with coped verges and a cross finial at the east end.

A small west tower rises through the nave roof and has a hipped roof topped with a dragon weathervane. The sides of the tower are hung with stone slate, except for the west side, which has a single small lancet and may have originally served as a bellcote. The south porch is gabled and has small diagonal buttresses flanking a pointed archway, above which is a sundial. Inside the porch, there is an ogee niche to the right and a sculptured Norman tympanum above the south door, depicting St. Michael slaying the dragon.

The nave features a two-light Perpendicular straight-headed window, with two similar windows in the chancel and a blocked doorway between them. The chancel has a three-light east window with two elongated quatrefoils set between Decorated tracery heads, diagonal buttresses at the east end, and a single lancet on the north side. The north side of the nave has two twin trefoil head lancets.

Inside, the nave has a three-bay layout with two tie beams and a collar beam for each pair of rafters. The chancel roof consists of three bays with two plain collar and tie beam trusses. There is a plain two-step pointed chancel arch, and some medieval glass fragments can be found in the east window.
