Details
Accessibility
"There is a grassy rise up to the church and a step down into the South East entrance".
Brief description
"This church is typically and appealingly English in its setting. It is an adorable small village church in a quiet and idyllic corner. No wonder Americans built churches near Philadelphia and in South Dakota in imitation of St Michael's, with its perky double bellcote and thatched roof. Lovers of architecture will admire the superb thirteenth-century double piscina in the south chancel wall, with its two drains set beneath intersecting arches, similar to one in Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge.
The church also has a holy well used until the 1880s for baptisms in the churchyard. There is also some lovely thirteenth-century painted glass in the windows".
