Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a building of group value, dating from the late 11th century, with significant additions and alterations across the 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th centuries. The nave and chancel are constructed of sandstone and gritstone rubble, incorporating some reused Roman masonry, while the tower is of pale limestone ashlar. The church comprises a west tower, a nave, and a two-bay chancel.

The three-stage buttressed tower is divided by string courses, and features a round-headed doorway with headstops to the hoodmould, and a round-headed south-facing window with human and grotesque headstops. Twin round-headed belfry windows are present on each face, beneath a battlemented parapet with eight crocketed pinnacles. An inscription on the north face reads "DIEV TEMPLE YARD ET GARDE DE ROY." The nave has lancet windows to the west, with a large grotesque to the left of that facing south. To the north, a restored pointed doorway is visible, while a blocked round-headed doorway is found to the south. East of these doorways are two deeply splayed round-headed windows; the head of the south window is of a single stone enriched with interlace carving. There are two heavily restored two-light windows in Decorated style to the east end of the nave. A grave slab built into the jamb of the south window bears the inscription "HIC INFRA JACIT CORPUS THO STUBLEY ANNO 1602." To the south of the much-restored chancel is a pointed doorway flanked by two single-light trefoil-headed windows. A fragment of a 10th-century hogsback is built into the southern wall, alongside a single-light trefoil-headed window and a small round-headed window. The 19th-century east window is in Decorated style, and fragments of a 13th-century incised floriate cross grave slab are incorporated into the east wall.

The interior features a late 12th-century font with a square bowl and intersecting round-arched arcade on each side, supported by a central pillar with four corner shafts featuring waterleaf capitals. Grotesques appear on the springers of the tower arch. Also within the interior are an early 17th-century pulpit with carved panels and altar rails.
