- "The church of St. Michael, an edifice of rubble and flint, erected about 1230, is
a simple yet beautiful specimen of the Early English style, consisting of chancel,
nave, aisles, south porch and a double bell gable at the west end containing 2 bells:
the chancel was taken down in 1883 and rebuilt in 1884, as nearly as possible on
its pre-Reformation lines, at a cost of £600: a beautiful triplet adorns the east
end, and there is a large and double piscina with semicircular intersecting arches
and an aumbry: the nave was restored in 1889, at a cost of £350: the roofs of the
nave and porch are covered with thatch: there are 150 sittings. The register dates
from the year 1559."
