A relic from a Medieval past

Set in gently rolling countryside, St Michael's Church stands framed by the large trees surrounding the part-moated farm to the east.

This church is one of the few remaining buildings remaining on the site of a deserted Medieval village. Apart from its suqare tower, the church was rebuilt in 1835 in brick.

Unassuming outside it hides treasures within: two extraordinary 14th-century monuments to the local De Buslingthorpe family - one a brass effigy of a knight in armour on a tomb chest, showing clearly the clothes worn in battle at that time.

Keyholder

If the access information for this church is listed as 'Keyholder nearby', this means that the key is kept by one of our invaluable volunteer 'keyholders', who usually live just a short walk from the church and can give visitors the key; sometimes this is a nearby hotel, pub, library, art gallery or other venue. You will find instructions explaining how to get the key when you arrive at the church.

Facilities

Due to the historic nature of our buildings, only a very small number of them have heating or running water meaning that they can be cold, and very rarely have toilet facilities. The lighting is usually operated via a 'push button' timer or a motion sensor. We do apologise for any inconvenience the lack of facilities may cause.
