[4] The existing church dates to the 15th-century, when the nave is believed to have been rebuilt,[3] while the tower was built during the early part of the same century.

[5] Robert Goodden of the adjacent Compton House had the north chapel added in 1776 and he also had the church undergo a major restoration in 1821–22.

This work included adding the north vestry and building or rebuilding the baptistery, the latter possibly being previously used as a porch.

In 1825, he had a marble standing figure of himself placed in the north chapel and penned the accompanying inscription, leaving the date of death blank.

The Emma Barron Trust Fund covered the cost of the bells and the work was carried out by John Taylor & Co of Loughborough.

[9] St Michael's is built of local rubble stone, partly ashlar-faced, with ashlar dressings.

The inside roof-work uses barrel vaulting and includes carved call bosses and stone corbels of angel figures.

The chapel also contains the white marble standing figure of Robert Goodden, which sits on a pedestal in a recess.

The nave has wall monuments to Mary, second daughter of Robert and Abigail Goodden, dated 1812, and Rev.

[5] A brass plaque records six names of local men who gave their lives in World War I.

[10] On the wall to the right of the altar is a marble monument to Canon Edward Wyndham Goodden, rector of Nether and Over Compton, who died in 1924.
