Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a parish church featuring a 14th-century tower, with the remainder of the structure rebuilt between 1723 and 1725 by Edward Wing. It underwent restoration in 1863. The church is constructed of limestone ashlar and squared coursed limestone. The nave and chancel are combined with a west tower. The north and south walls are symmetrical, consisting of two storeys and seven bays. The two end bays project forward and are framed by pilasters, while the three central bays are defined by pilasters and a pediment. There is a doorway with a flat moulded hood supported by scroll brackets and a ten-panelled door, along with a sundial above the south doorway. The ground floor features arched windows, and the first floor has segment-headed windows, except for the one above the doorway, which is arched and integrates into the pediment. The east wall has three bays with a pediment and three arched windows, with the lower section of the northern window forming a doorway.

The west tower has four stages, topped with a crenellated parapet and pinnacles. The bell openings consist of two traceried lights with transoms and square hoods. The west window features three lights with flowing tracery and a central niche for sculpture. The 14th-century west doorway has continuous moulding, while the 18th-century double doors consist of six panels. The interior includes an 18th-century west gallery supported by paired Tuscan columns, box pews, and a pulpit. There is an 18th-century font with a fluted bowl on a baluster, and wood carving of the Crucifixion from the 17th century, likely French. Notable monuments include a chest tomb for the Cartwright family, erected in 1654, made of black and white marble with panelled sides and shields. There are also marble wall tablets commemorating Matthew Hutton, who died in 1711, created by Edward Stanton and framed with baroque scrolls and draperies, as well as tablets for Thomas Chapman, who died in 1684, and Rhoda Chapman, who died in 1686, both attributed to William Stanton, featuring architectural frames with Corinthian columns, scroll pediments, and urns.
