ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH WAS MOSTLY REBUILT IN THE LATE C16 AND IN 1782, HOWEVER SOME MEDIEVAL FEATURES REMAIN. THE TOWER IS LATE SAXON (SEE PRN 51098). THE NAVE AND CHANCEL ARE IN ONE; THE NAVE IS OF 1782, THE CHANCEL WAS REBUILT IN THE LATE C16. THE CHANCEL ARCH HOWEVER MUST BE OF THE LATE C12. IT IS A DOUBLE-CHAMFERED, DEPRESSED-POINTED ARCH ON SEMI-CIRCULAR RESPONDS WITH ELEMENTARY STIFF-LEAF CAPITALS, THE LEAVES THEMSELVES OF PLASTER, PERHAPS ADDED IN 1782. ALSO LATE C12 IS THE PRIEST'S DOORWAY WITH A SEMI-CIRCULAR HOODMOULD AND ONE WATERLEAF CAPITAL. THE EAST WINDOW IS OF FIVE LIGHTS, A STRAIGHT TOP AND ONE TRANSOM, THE LIGHTS WITH DEPRESSED-ARCHED HEADS. THE STAINED GLASS IN THE WEST WINDOW IS BY KEMPE, OF 1882; THAT IN THE EAST WINDOW IS OF 1919 AND BY T F CURTIS OF WARD AND HUGHES; THE NAVE NORTHEAST WINDOW IS BY HEATON, BUTLER AND BAYNE, OF 1908, AND IN SOMBRE COLOURS. THE COMMUNION RAIL IS LATER C17 WITH DUMB-BELL BALUSTERS. THE MONUMENTS INCLUDE A STANDING WALL-MONUMENT TO SIR CHRISTOPHER WRAY (DIED 1592) AND HIS WIFE. OF ALABASTER WITH TWO RECUMBENT EFFIGIES, HE BEHIND AND A LITTLE ABOVE HER; WITH A COFFERED ARCH, THE BACK PLATE WITH INSCRIPTION AND STRAPWORK, COLUMNS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT, CARRYING OBELISKS. AT THE VERY TOP OF THE MONUMENT IS THE KNEELING FIGURE OF SIR CHRISTOPHER'S SON IN PROFILE; AGAINST THE TOMB-CHEST ARE FOUR KNEELING DAUGHTERS. PERHAPS BY NICHOLAS JOHNSON OF THE SOUTHWARK SCHOOL, THE MONUMENT WAS CARVED IN 1593 - THE DATE 1623 IS PROBABLY A MISREADING OF THE ORIGINAL BY A LATER RESTORER. A MONUMENT TO ELIZABETH SAUNDERSON (DIED 1714) BY EDWARD HURST, IN WHITE MARBLE HAS THREE CHERUBS' HEADS UNDER A BALDACCHINO IN THE CENTRE, WITH COLUMNS TO THE LEFT AND RIGHT, AND LEFT AND RIGHT OF THESE ARE STANDING WAILING PUTTI. {3}~
