Church Of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a parish church that features some work from the 13th century, but is mainly from the 14th and 15th centuries. It was restored between 1849 and 1850. The building is constructed from red sandstone random rubble with Ham stone dressings and has slate roofs. It consists of a four-bay nave and four-bay north and south aisles, both of which have been extended by one bay to the east. There is a south porch and a west tower.

The tower is crenellated and has three stages, with finials and diagonal buttresses. It features two-light bell openings with Somerset tracery, three-light west windows, and a square turret in the southwest corner. The base of the tower retains some remains of 13th-century work and is set at an unusually oblique angle to the nave. The north wall was used for playing fives.

In the south aisle, there are three-light windows above the west door and on either side of the porch, a four-light window to the east, and a large buttress replacing the original rood stairs. The south front has a three-light end bay, and the east end of the aisle has a four-light window. There is also a three-light window in the chancel to the east of the priest's door, a four-light window at the east end, and a two-light window on the north side of the chancel, with a mid-19th-century vestry set at an angle with the north aisle, which was rebuilt in the mid-19th century.

The north front has four three-light windows with a door at the west end, separated by stepped buttresses. The porch dates from the 14th century. Inside, the church has rendered walls and features octagonal piers with double chamfered arches that are not symmetrical, with the south arcade dating from the mid-19th century. The church has wagon roofs and a double chamfered tower arch with head corbels. There are wooden galleries, with the north aisle galleries being a mid-19th-century copy of the 18th-century south aisle galleries.

One of the most significant features of the church is its large and fine collection of early 16th-century bench ends. Some late 15th to early 16th-century carvings have been incorporated into the early 20th-century screen. The church also contains a circular Norman font.
