Overview
Grid reference: NY 369 501
Externally St. Michael's is particularly noteworthy for its double open bell-cote (C19th) above massive buttresses to the west gable wall which in turn flank the blocked C18th entrance. Stonework is of coursed red sandstone block and with roof slopes of random and diminishing slate. Internally the roof to the nave and north and south aisles is particularly unusual. The nave and aisles are spanned by braced collar tie trusses supported on relatively slender oak posts with half trusses spanning to the external walls and with the tie members morticed into the posts. The effect is of a remarkably light structure spanning a very large space and with minimal obstruction. The church, of C12th & C13th origins, partly rebuilt in 1749 was extensively restored and altered in 1890 by C.J. Ferguson with entrance porch, vestry and organ chamber dating from this period. Walls panelled in 1890 are believed incorporate timber reclaimed form the C18th box pews. Although the appearance of the church is rather dominated by the C19th alterations there are sufficient architectural elements of earlier periods to retain the historic dimension.
