Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, St Michael and All Angels

The Church of the Holy Name of Jesus, St Michael and All Angels, is a parish church located on Rowtor Lane in Birchover. It was originally built around 1717, with partial rebuilding occurring around 1869 when the chancel was added, along with various alterations in the 20th century. The church is constructed of coursed squared gritstone, featuring gritstone dressings and quoins, as well as a plinth and moulded sill bands. The roofs are covered with plain tiles and have moulded stone coped gables, topped with ridge crosses at the east gables of both the chancel and nave. The nave has a partly corbelled out octagonal bellcote on the west gable, which includes pointed arches on all four sides, a moulded sill band, and a stringcourse, finished with a spirelet.

The west porch features an ovolo moulded basket arched doorcase on the south side, adorned with egg and dart moulding at the top, alongside various carvings on the sides and a 20th-century studded wooden door. The north elevation is blank. The east window has three lights with intersecting tracery and a central quatrefoil at the top, accompanied by a bold plain hoodmould. On the south elevation of the nave, there are three moulded two-light windows from around 1717, which were later modified to Y-tracery pointed windows in 1869.

Inside, the church has a pointed chamfered doorcase leading to the nave, decorated with dogtooth details, and a wide chamfered chancel arch. The roof is curved and supported by pillar corbels, while the 19th-century pews have later added carved poppyheads. An octagonal marble font, likely from the 20th century, is present, along with a very ornately carved wooden pulpit made by a former rector, dated 1949. There are also two wooden charity boards from 1773 and a wall memorial in marble dedicated to John Gresley from 1795. The south windows feature 20th-century stained glass by Brian Clarke.
