Church Of St Michael

The Church of St. Michael is a parish church with a chancel dating from the 14th century, while the nave was altered in the 15th century and heightened in the 16th to 17th centuries. It underwent restoration in 1842 and 1875 by Sir George Gilbert Scott and his son, John Oldrid Scott. The church features 19th-century transepts, a north aisle, a south porch, and a west tower. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone, with brick used for the transepts and the east wall of the nave, and has tiled roofs with coped gables.

The tower, designed in the Decorated style, has three stages, a broach spire, and a stair turret on the northeast side. The south wall of the nave includes two 15th-century paired cusped lancets with flat hoodmoulds, along with a clerestory featuring 16th to 17th-century rectangular windows with paired arched lights. The north wall of the nave has a 19th-century clerestory with two-light windows displaying ogee tracery, which is obscured by the steeply gabled roof of the north aisle. The transepts contain re-used Perpendicular-style three-light windows with ogee tracery and carved head label stops on both the north and south sides. The south transept also has mid-18th-century memorial plaques positioned in the west and south walls.

The chancel features Decorated-style two-light windows, with two on the south and one on the north side, and a 19th-century vestry located to the north at the angle with the transept. A small door on the south side is dated 1631, and the east window is a Decorated three-light window with flowing tracery.

Inside, the 19th-century north arcade of the nave consists of three bays with chamfered arches supported by octagonal piers with moulded caps. The chancel arch is also from the 19th century and is set on triple shafts. The church contains an aumbry, piscina, and sedile designed as a window seat, all restored in the 19th century, along with 19th-century roofs. The work from this period is in the Decorated style, featuring naturalistic carved foliage caps.

Notable fittings include a 15th-century octagonal font with a 17th-century cover, 15th-century pews (restored), a 17th-century pulpit, and other 19th-century fittings. There is also a monument to Sir Harry and Lady Eliza Verney, featuring marble profile medallions dated 1839 by Kummel.
