Uploader's Comments

The church of ST. MICHAEL consists of chancel 18 ft. by 14 ft. with vestry on the north side, nave 30 ft. by 17 ft., and west porch 7 ft. by 5 ft., all these measurements being internal. The building is of 12th-century date, but was very much altered about the end of the 18th century, when many of its original features were destroyed and others obscured. There was a restoration in 1902–3. Externally very little of the ancient masonry remains, the chancel and porch having been wholly rebuilt and the walls of the nave raised and repaired. The greater part of the old walling is at the west end of the north wall and at the southeast and south-west angles. The roofs are modern and are covered with green slates overhanging at the eaves, and there is a slated bell-turret with pointed roof at the west end replacing an older one of stone.
