Description
The Church of St Mihangel is a rectangular building constructed with local rubble and freestone dressings. It dates to an unknown period, with later additions. A narrower block is set at the west end, and a block has been added at a right angle to the northwest, featuring a smaller vestry to the north and a lean-to porch in the angle. The church is roofed with modern slate, with stone copings. The main part has a cross at the east gable and a single ashlar bellcote topped with a cross at the west; the added block has a cross on its west gable.
The main part of the church is in the Decorated style and comprises a nave of three bays. Windows have sandstone dressings, with trefoil-headed lights within square frames. The north wall has a single light at the east end and paired lights in the central and west bays. The south wall features a three-light window at the west end, a paired central window and an east window retaining remains of medieval jambs, now blocked. The east window is a pointed arch with a hoodmould, featuring three trefoil-headed lights in the lower section and two shorter lights above. The added blocks have pointed arched, lancet style windows. The west block has two bays, with a paired light to the west end and a triple light to the east. The west gable and north wall have single lights, and the north block has paired lights in the east and west walls.
The main entrance is situated under the lean-to porch on the east side, in the west end of the main block, and features a four-centred doorway set into a square-headed frame. Further doorways to the added blocks are set under the west end of the lean-to porch, with a single square-headed doorway in the north gable. A lychgate with a pointed arched entrance within a pointed gateway abuts the northern block. A low rubble wall surrounds the rectangular churchyard.
The nave has four roof bays with exposed rafters and collared trusses featuring cambered collars and chamfered soffits. Braces on the trusses are carried down to wall posts, which are supported on plain corbels. The sanctuary is raised by one step and divided by turned balusters supporting a trefoil frieze below a moulded rail. A 17th century gravestone, commemorating Owen Hughes, who died in 1613, is set in front of the sanctuary. Pews of pitch pine are arranged in two ranks with a central aisle. At the west end, the nave is divided from the added block by three round arches supported on paired columns with cushion capitals. The room beyond is raised by three steps and has a similarly detailed roof of two bays, with modern trusses set on moulded corbels.
