Description
The present parish church of St Michael was
begun in 1822. design. The roof is supported by very "industrial"
looking beams, pierced by quatrefoil and dagger openings. They would not look
out of place under a railway bridge, and appear to be of wood, though it would
come as no surprise to find that they were metal. At the west end of the nave is
a gallery supported on very slender iron columns. The front to the nave has
cusped panelling. There were formerly galleries on the north and south sides
too, but these were removed in the C20. The area under the gallery has been
turned into a room in recent years by the insertion of a wood and glass wall.
The nave as a whole reminds one of a Non-Conformist building rather than the
Church of England
