St. Michael & All Angels Church

Parish church. Cll, C15, early C18, & restoration of 1882. Aisleless nave of Cll and chancel of C15, with later windows, vestry north of the chancel and a south porch of 1882; detached timber-framed bell-cote. Plain exterior with a tile roof, walls of flint (some herring-bone) with stone (some brick) rubble added to the restored part, stone dressings. A high window above the south porch, now filled, has thin voussoirs of early Romanesque style, and a tall north door to the nave (also filled) is similar: a high narrow round arched window remains in the west gable: a 2-light Perpendicular window is on the south side of the chancel and the main nave windows are Victorian Perpendicular: the west window is plain on the outside and perpendicular within: the chief feature is the east window of 1723, of Venetian (Palladian) form with an Ionic Order of square columns (inside and out). Within, the restoration of 1882 is expressed in the chancel arch and a tall arch to the vestry, but there is the reveal of the Cll window on the south side of the nave, & the stone jamb of a similar window opposite, as well as the stone frame of the north door. Plain tub font, C18 chancel rails with turned balusters (repeated in the pulpit). There are several wall monuments, in the chancel of 1793 and 1803, in the nave of 1823, 1826, & 1832; floor slabs' include one in the centre of the chancel of 1757.
