St Michael and All Angels, Middlewich

St. Michael and All Angels is the parish church for the town of Middlewich in Cheshire, England.

[3] In 1947 the architectural historian Raymond Richards described the church as "the one building, in a depressing town, which is mellow and dignified".

[4] Parts of the church date from the 12th century, possibly the lower portion of the tower, but more likely the narrow arcade of the east bay.

[5][6] Most of the church was built during the period between about 1480 and 1520[7] when the nave clerestory was added, new windows were inserted, the Lady chapel was built at the east end of the south aisle and a two-storey porch was added to the south side.

[4] The church was damaged during the English Civil War, particularly during the First Battle of Middlewich in March 1643, when the Royalists used it as a place of sanctuary.

A Jacobean screen with the carved arms of the Venables family was originally at the entrance to the Kinderton chapel but is now inside the tower.
