History
The church dates from the 14th century, and contains fragments of masonry from an earlier church building on the site.[2] It was restored in 1863,[1] and there was another restoration in 1910.[2]
Architecture
The plan of St Michael's consists of a nave with a south porch, and a chancel. At the west end is a bellcote.[1] Each wall of the nave contains a single window.[3]
Inside the church, the font dates from the 15th century.[3] The pulpit dates from the 17th century, and the communion rail is in Jacobean style.[1] The chancel screen and the lectern were moved from Great Malvern Priory at the time of the 1910 restoration.[2] The oldest monument is dated 1688. There are two bells, one of which dates from the 15th century.[3]
