St Michael's Church, Michaelston-le-Pit

[1] The church was probably built by the Reigny family; earliest records of it date to the Taxation of Norwich in 1254, where it was referred to as St Michael de Renny and was valued at four marks.

The present name is likely taken from le Peyt; the le Peyt family owned the land before selling it to the Reignys.

[3] The church has many items which date to medieval times, including a baptismal font which was lost at the time of the Battle of St Fagans and was later discovered in a local field.

[2][1] It also has the only triple decker pulpit found in the Vale of Glamorgan.

[2] The lychgate of the churchyard is a memorial to local soldiers killed in World War I; it became a Grade II listed building 25 April 2002.
