The church and lychgate were designed by the Birmingham 'Gothic' architect, J. A. Chatwin in the style of the 14th century. They were erected in 1889 after being commissioned at a cost of £5000 by the 7th Earl Cowper who was a British Liberal politician and also served as Lord Lieutenant of Ireland between 1880 and 1882. The church dedicated to St Michael & All Angels had the clock installed in 1920 as a memorial to the local men who died in the First World War. The spire is visible from the surrounding countryside and is notable for being covered by oak shingles.
