Church of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a small church, likely dating to the medieval period, with a nave and chancel combined under a single roof, a south porch, and a north vestry. It is constructed of rubble stone, with walls that slightly lean inwards, and covered by slate roofs. The church’s design incorporates trefoil-headed windows throughout. Architectural details include large sandstone quoins, raised copings, and cross finials on the gables.

The gabled porch is positioned to the left and features sandstone dressings. It contains a pointed arched entrance, chamfered with broach stops, beneath a hoodmould with square stops. A similar doorway leads into the church, fitted with a planked door secured by iron strapwork. The porch's roof is an arch-braced structure, likely dating from the early 16th century, with side benches. To the right of the porch is a small, low-level medieval window with a monolithic trefoil head. Taller 19th-century trefoil-headed windows flank this, one to the left and two illuminating the chancel. The medieval fabric continues up nearly to the spring of these windows. A three-light window with a sexfoil is situated at the east end, also under a hoodmould with square stops. On the north side, a single light illuminates the chancel, and to its right is the lower gabled vestry. The vestry has single lights on its east and north sides. A bell is attached to the wall between the chancel and vestry. To the right of the vestry are two more windows. The west end features a two-light window with a quatrefoil and a hoodmould matching those elsewhere.

Inside, the church has a seven-bay arch-braced roof with two raked struts above each brace and two purlins on each side. Pews run along both sides of a central aisle, featuring carved bench ends. The floor is laid with quarry tiles. A circular stoup with a moulded top edge is fixed to the wall immediately east of the entrance, positioned above a carved head, formerly a corbel. A circular font, set on a circular stem with a two-tier base and a square plinth with canted angles, stands in the southwest corner of the nave, appearing to be a medieval font that has been re-cut. The pulpit has a wood-panelled front resting on an octagonal stone base with a moulded top edge and each panel features a two-light blind arch. The chancel contains plain choir stalls, two on each side. The low-level window on the south side has angled reveals facing the nave, and an irregular head. Opposite this is a doorway into the vestry with a shouldered lintel. A shell-shaped piscina is set into the wide, corbelled sill of the window north of the altar, and the window immediately south of the altar has a stone window seat. Secondary glazing with coloured margins is present in the side windows. A rectangular stone tablet commemorates Thomas Huet (1524-1591) who translated the Book of Revelation into Welsh, and Thomas Price (1787-1848).
