Description

The Church of St Michael is an Early English style church featuring a nave and chancel that share a single roof, along with a west bellcote, a west porch, and a south aisle with a chapel that is shorter than the nave and has a separate roof. The church is constructed of rubble stone and has slate roofs. The openings are all from the 19th century, including two-light windows with Y-tracery. The south aisle has a doorway with a projecting hammer-dressed stone surround, pointed head, and hood mould leading to a boarded door. To the right of this doorway are two windows with hood moulds. The east walls of the aisle and chancel have similar hooded windows, while the north side of the nave and chancel features three similar windows without hoods. The gabled porch includes a pointed doorway with narrow voussoirs and a 20th-century iron gate. The west door to the nave is square-headed and has a boarded door. The 19th-century bellcote contains a single bell set in a round-headed opening with hammer-dressed voussoirs.

Inside, the church has suspended ceilings that obscure the roof trusses, which are believed to be from the 19th century. There is a three-bay south arcade with simple plastered two-centred arches. The late medieval font is plain and octagonal, resting on a stem, though the base is missing. The 18th-century pulpit features blind Gothic panels with painted sunflowers in relief, supported by a base of clustered columns. The benches have simple ends, and the communion rail consists of turned wooden uprights with brackets supporting the rail. The sanctuary is adorned with plain and encaustic tiles.
