Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a parish church built in 1870, designed by William Butterfield. It features coursed, squared rubble on a chamfered plinth and has stepped buttressing. The roofs are made of graduated slate with stone copings and kneelers, and there is a bellcote at the west end with crosses at the apex to the east. The church consists of an aisle-less nave and chancel, with a vestry on the south side. The nave has four bays and includes a plank inner door with a pointed head leading to a gabled south porch. The windows are designed in the Perpendicular style; the vestry door and a cusped, single-light window are original Perpendicular features that have been reused. Additionally, three gargoyles are positioned over the east window, and there is a blocked doorway on the north side of the chancel, which has been infilled with a late 18th-century Dickinson memorial.

Inside, the nave features scissor-beam trusses, and there are wide, pointed arches leading to the chancel and vestry, with a traceried, four-centred opening above the chancel arch. The church contains a 19th-century octagonal wooden pulpit in the northeast corner of the nave and a 19th-century octagonal stone font at the west end. A mid-17th-century tomb slab with an extensive but weathered inscription is set against the west wall of the vestry, and early 18th-century pedimented marble memorials are located on the west wall of the nave. The stained glass is by Kempe and Tower.
