Exterior Description
At first sight the building appears from outside like a double-aisled church, but the south 'aisle' is in fact St. Michael's Infant School and is functionally (though not structurally) distinct. The walls are of brick faced with carrstone and the roof coverings of the main part of the building are French pantiles; the roof coverings of the north chapel and vestry are of lead. The windows are plain lancets, grouped in pairs along the north side of the church, and the east and west walls each have three stepped lancets. The window heads are of brick. At the west there are pointed doorways north and south and a stone cross at the apex of the gable. A bell-cage bearing a small lead-covered fleche rises from the roof at the junction of chancel and nave.
Interior
Interior Description
