Description

The church of St. Michael and All Angels is a cruciform building of stone and flint, consisting of chancel, nave of three bays, aisles, transepts, south porch and an embattled tower on the south side, containing a clock and 6 bells.

L. Kingsbury M.A. vicar of this parish 1885-92: the church was restored in 1845, and affords 250 sittings.
