Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a parish church that dates back to the 12th century, with a west tower designed by Blenkinsop of Helbeck, constructed between 1513 and 1525. The church is built from sandstone blocks and features a chamfered plinth at the chancel, with a cavetto moulding at the eaves that supports a low parapet. The structure includes stepped buttressing and low-pitch lead roofs. It has a three-stage west tower, a nave with an added north aisle, and a chancel.

Inside the church, on the south side of the nave next to the pulpit, there is a memorial slab dated 1624 that bears the following carved inscription: "HERE LYE GABRIELL VINCENT STEWARD TO THE R H ANNE CLIFFORD COUNTESS DOWAGER OF PEMBROOKE DORSETT AND MONTGOMERY. AND CHIEF DIRECTOR OF ALL HER BVILDINGS IN THE NORTH WHO DYED IN THE ROMAN TOWER OF BROVGH CASTLE LIKE A GOOD CHRISTIAN THE 12 OF FFEBRUARY 1665 1666. LOOKING FOR THE SECOND COMMINGE OF OVR SAVIOVR IESVS CHRIST." Additionally, at the west end of the church, there is a Celtic Cross that serves as a memorial for those who served in the First World War.
