[2][3] St Michael, Lamplugh was built by William Butterfield in 1870 with some mediaeval features retained.

[5] Some mediaeval features were retained: a doorway in the north chancel wall now blocked, though delineated externally by an 18th-century monument; the remodelled chancel and vestry, the latter with an original cusped window and door; and three gargoyles relocated to the external east wall.

Pevsner claims that the Perpendicular style adopted by Butterfield is unusual for the date and must have reflected the earlier building.

The graduated slate roofs with stone copings and kneelers; bellcote at west end, apex crosses to east.

The hour-bay nave has plank inner door, with pointed head, to a gabled south porch.

The Perpendicular features are re-used, as are the three gargoyles over the east window and the blocked doorway, infilled with late 18th century Dickinson Sons memorial on the north side of the chancel.
