Description

St Michael & All Angels - A Church Near You

This lovely Norman church has been the centre of worship in this parish since 1132. Built in the Norman style by the Prior of Kirkham Abbey, it has been extended and added to over the years. Under the direction of Sir Tatton Sykes of Sledmere House, the church was transformed between 1872-80. G.E.Street the architect and artists, Clayton and Bell, decorated the church from top to bottom - painted rafters, fabulous murals and Spanish tiles. A restoration of the wall paintings was funded by The Pevsner Memorial Trust. The church is part of the Sykes Trail, and part of the Woldsburn Benefice.
