Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Michael and All Angels Church, Mickleham
Heritage Open Day: A picturesque example of a mainly Norman church with earlier Saxon origins and later Victorian alterations in a quintessential English village setting St Michael and All Angels is a beautiful church at the heart of the picture postcard village of Mickleham. A church has stood on this site for over one thousand years and is mentioned in the Domesday Book with evidence of the Saxon origins still visible today. The mainly Norman building that we see now dates from around 1180 with many interesting features to discover and enjoy: the 12th century font is carved from a huge single piece of Caen stone; there is an interesting lepers' squint in the west wall; the Weeping Chancel is out of alignment with the nave which is a feature in some ancient churches. Two 14th century tombs sit in the church porch, moved there during the Victorian improvement and reconstruction†which also saw many alterations.
