St Michael was locked and strangely hideously attractive, I don't know why the Norman chancel and nave work with the later wooden shingle spire but it does - perhaps it was the weather. The builders incorporated lots of re-cycled, maybe Roman, tiles in the west wall. I'm not sure where I stand on this.
ST MICHAEL. Nave, chancel, and belfry. The belfry is weather-boarded with a shingled broach spire. It rests on posts with thin, low braces and cross-strutting to the l. and r. Nave and chancel Norman, the windows much renewed. S doorway with odd capitals of four thin stone slabs on top of each other. The nave roof simple, of trussed rafters, with low tie-beams. - PULPIT. C15 with traceried panels and quatrefoils at their foot. - COMMUNION RAIL. C17, with sparsely placed heavy balusters. - PLATE. Cup and Paten of 1662.
