St Michael's Church, Wincle, Gothic Revival church in Wincle, England.
Description
St Michael's Church is a Gothic Revival church with a three-stage tower built from coursed buff gritstone and topped with grey tile roofing. The tower features bell openings made from Kerridge stone, a material that gives the structure its distinctive appearance.
History
The church was built in 1882 on the site of an earlier structure from 1647. An original stone lintel from the older building remains embedded in the priest's door, creating a physical link between the two periods.
Culture
The interior reflects traditional Anglican worship through elements like an 1861 font, which visitors can see as they move through the space. The unadorned walls and simple design allow worshippers to focus on prayer and community gatherings.
Practical
The church is accessible during worship services within the Chester diocese and welcomes visitors interested in the building's architecture. Before visiting, it is worth checking current opening times to ensure the doors are open.
Did you know?
The churchyard holds the grave of a World War I soldier from the South Wales Borderers. This burial connects the quiet village to a broader historical moment and reminds visitors of the war's reach into local communities.
