[2] St Michael's originated in the 13th century as a chapel of ease to the parish of Clifton-upon-Dunsmore.

[1] In 1876 the church was restored by Sir George Gilbert Scott for Allesley Boughton-Leigh of nearby Brownsover Hall.

The church is entered by a west doorway with a pointed arch, on each side of which are two-light windows.

The east window contains 20th-century stained glass commemorating Lawrence Sheriff, the founder of Rugby School.

The wooden pulpit is Flemish, dating from the 18th century, and is set into the east wall of the nave.

[1] It was made in 1660, originally for St John's College, Cambridge,[2] and was moved here in the late 19th century.
