St Michael's nestles in the heart of the Cheshire countryside.

It has a recorded history from 1308 but a place of worship has stood here many centuries before. It is one of only a few half timbered churches in the country. On the east wall of the nave is a magnificent timpanum upon which are written the Ten Commandments and tracts from the bible. An unusual three tiered pulpit stands to the side and above us is the ancient Tudor ceiling. There is an early altar rail. There are tombs inside to the Mainwaring family whose predecessors came over with the William the Conquerer. The roof of the nave is a fine example of Tudor woodwork. On the east facing wall is a magnificent stained glass window dedicated to Mary, St Werburgh and St Michael.

St Boniface

Bunbury, Cheshire

Although there has been a church here since Saxon times, much of the story of Bunbury's church revolves around a colourful 14th century knight called Sir Hugh de Calveley.
