St Michael's Church was built in 1761 as a private chapel to Holbrook Hall. It became a Parish church in 1835, though it required at that time some restoration work due to a period of neglect. It nearly burnt down twice, once in 1891 and again in 1907 when flues from the heating system became hot and set fire to the woodwork. Extensive damage was caused on both occasions.
