St Michael's Anglican Church was consecrated in 1845. The church was badly damaged by air raids in 1941 but was restored and reopened in 1953. The last service was held in April 2007. After demolition a smaller church is to be built on the site of the adjacent vicarage which was also demolished. The site of the church itself will be occupied by a block of flats.
