The earliest record of a church or chapel on the site dates back to 1429. This early structure was likely a simple timber and plaster building, typical of the period. By the 17th century, the church was still described as being made of timber and plaster.
The church is unique in Douglas’ portfolio as it is entirely half-timbered. The exterior features close studding with a middle rail, a five-bay nave, a bell turret on the west gable end, a south porch, a narrow north aisle, a two-bay chancel at a lower level, a north organ chamber, and a vestry, the bell turret is particularly notable, with its pyramidal roof, finial, and weather vane.
St Michael and All Angels Church is a Grade II* listed building, recognized for its architectural and historic significance. It remains an active parish church within the Diocese of Liverpool, continuing to serve the local community and visitors alike.
