St Michael-in-the-Hamlet

Everyone is welcome to come to this family church, which is also a grade one listed building. It is one of two churches in England, which hangs from a Cast Iron frame, which holds the building up, not the walls. 

Whether calling to worship or to enjoy this beautiful heritage building - ALL ARE WELCOME IN THIS PLACE
