The church serves the loosely-defined Montpelier and Clifton Hill areas of Brighton, which lie west of the major Dyke Road and cover the steep slopes between the Seven Dials district and the seafront. A church named St. Stephen's had served parts of the district since 1851 Plans for the church were drawn up in 1858, and construction took place between 1860 and 1861 The design of the exterior was reminiscent of the Italianate style, in red brick with horizontal bands of white stone and a steeply pitched slate roof. This featured a modest flèche spire containing a bell recovered from Sevastopol during the Crimean War http://www.saintmichaelsbrighton.org/welcome.htm
