This beautiful 13th century medieval Northamptonshire ironstone and limestone church, with spectacular broach spire, and sumptuous chancel, lavishly decorated with marble, alabaster, semi precious stones and gold leaf.

An inclusive and architecturally significant church.

It is thought that there was a church on this site before the Norman Conquest as the Domesday Book mentions a St Michael's Church in the east of the ancient parish of Manchester.

The church is probably the most impressive in Wensleydale with a battlemented tower, nave and chancel.

Light floods into this welcoming and uplifting church, with its historic connections to the Knights Templar and the very first European settlers in America.
