Church of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a small-scale medieval building featuring a nave, chancel, and a low west tower topped with a saddleback roof. It has a south porch and a gabled vestry attached to the north wall of the chancel. The structure is made of rubble stone with a stone tile roof that includes ridge cresting and crosses. Notably, there is no east window in the chancel. The tower has a single lancet and small slit openings on the lower stages, while the belfry features tall lancets with louvres.

Inside, the nave has plain plastered walls and a flagstone floor. There is a wide pointed arch door leading to the tower and slender arch-braced roofs. An arcade with a cusped timber arch separates the nave and chancel roofs, designed by Nicholson. A fine 15th-century screen has been restored, featuring a renewed embattled headrail and wall posts, also by Nicholson. This screen has four lights on either side of a wide opening, slender moulded mullions, crocketed finials, chamfered tracery, and a flattened ogee doorhead.

At the east end, there is a remarkable feature, likely unique in Wales: the partial survival of a pre-Reformation ciborium set beneath a coved ceiling over the sanctuary. This ceiling has moulded ribs, some of which are original while the boards are from the 19th century. The central rib is adorned with four carved head bosses representing a Bishop of Hereford, Henry IV, Joan of Navarre, and a grotesque face, dating to around 1410. The east wall retains remnants of retable framing, including two slender wall posts with finials and an embattled headrail, along with housings for a side screen. Two additional tall moulded wall posts with fleurons indicate a lost presbytery screen. The original brattished wall plate connects the front and rear framing, while a west-facing outer arch with inverted cusping is from the 19th century.

The church also features an octagonal font with a tapered stem on a cylindrical base, which has been re-dressed, a 17th-century communion table, and 18th and 19th-century memorials to the Trumpers of Baynham Hall. The south chancel glass was created in 1873 by Mayer & Co from Munich and London.
