Description
The Church of St Michael and All Angels is a church built around 1865, which was consecrated on 7 October 1864. It is constructed from coursed, rock-faced limestone rubble with gritstone dressings and quoins. The building features a high, steeply pitched slate roof that curves around the apsidal east end, and has a stone-coped gable at the west with a ridge bellcote.
This single-cell church has a round east end and a south porch. The west elevation displays tall lancet windows on either side of a central stepped buttress, with a trefoil window and bellcote above. There are three lancet windows on both the north and south walls, as well as three similar windows around the apse. The south porch, located to the west, has moulded copings and a cross on the ridge, with trefoil windows on the sides and a pointed, chamfered doorcase leading to a plank door.
Inside, the church is very simple, featuring lancet windows on the sides and round apse, plain wooden pews, and an impressive scissor-truss roof with radiating timbers around the east end.
