4/18 Church of St Michael and All Angels 20.12.60 (formerly listed as St Michael) II*
Parish church. An ancient site close to the Roman road, and a possible Christian successor to a heathen temple; a Saxon church stood here but the earliest part is the Norman chancel arch; C13 chancel (restored), North transept of 1827, nave restoration and 3-bay south aisle of 1863, C19 porch and vestry, and bell turret of 1907. Steep tile roof over most of the building, but a low-pitched slate roof above nave and north transept, shingled spire to timber-framed bell turret, with gables to the lower tile-hung framing. Walls of flint with stone dressings, rendered to the north transept, the nave and the south aisle (or nearly equal width and height) having decorative brick treatment at verges, relieving arches, and as horizontal bands. Windows are small or tall lancets in nave and aisle, with one coupled light in the nave and triple lancets at the east end. Inside, the appearance and fittings are Victorian, with several small wall monuments of the early C19: the arcade rests on thin cylindrical columns, merging to wide square cushion caps. The nave roof (1506) has moulded tie-beams with king-posts and Queen Struts. Plain stone font; and 3 benefaction boards displayed above the south door in the porch. The architectural features repeat those at Haverden and Smannell, both designed by William White (but Pevsner says Hakewill).
