Summary
St Michael's church has a 14th century west tower, with perpendicular and decorated style belfry windows. There is a perpendicular style south porch and nave windows, as well as a perpendicular chancel and east window. The arch-braced roof was heavily restored in 1953, and is thought to have been replaced in the 1970s. Inside is a screen with panels dating to 1433 to 1477, donated by a rector called Stephen Multon, and an iron plated south door of the 13th century. In a north nave window is a 15th century stained glass angel.
