Church of St Michael

The Church of St Michael is a building of red sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and stone tile roofs, dating to the 17th century, with later alterations. It comprises a nave, chancel, west tower, and a south porch. The nave is divided into four and a half bays, with only the two eastern bays roofed. The south wall of the nave incorporates a gabled porch in the first bay, with a stilted entrance arch and an elaborate waggon roof featuring moulded ribs and rose and fleur-de-lys bosses. To the right of the porch are three paired lancet windows with dripmoulds; the third window along is a late 20th-century replacement, while the others are Victorian. Corner buttresses are present with off-sets. The north wall has a three-light mullioned window of a 17th-century style, which may be an early 20th-century insertion, with other windows matching those on the south wall. Evidence suggests that a previous nave roof had a much steeper pitch than the current one. The chancel has a 20th-century four-light mullioned window of a 17th-century style on the south wall, alongside a small pointed arch doorway. The north wall of the chancel is blank, and the east wall features a stepped triple lancet with a dripmould, a plinth, corner buttresses with off-sets, and a roof verge.

The four-stage, tapered west tower has paired louvred openings on each face at the bell stage, with smaller chamfered windows at each stage. The tower was heightened and given a castellated parapet, partly rebuilt, containing two merlons on each face and a gargoyle projecting at each corner.

A polished red granite tomb is located in the angle between the porch and the nave, commemorating Rev Price, who died in 1875. It is surrounded by wrought iron spearhead railings with vases on the main stanchions, which are attached to the church.

The churchyard contains a variety of well-preserved early and mid-19th century memorials, including locally carved headstones and chest tombs. Two of these chest tombs are individually listed.

The unroofed part of the interior reveals only rubble walls and the interiors of the windows, a small tower arch, and a lancet above. The roofed nave and chancel have stripped walls; the nave has a modern ceiling, while the chancel boasts an 1887 waggon roof. The chancel arch and east window, along with the pews, also date to 1887. A notable wall memorial from 1667 is dedicated to Richard Sidnee. Additionally, there is a weathered, seemingly Elizabethan relief tomb slab in the nave, which was previously exposed to the elements.
