Church of St Michael, Anglican church in Newquay, United Kingdom
Description
The Church of St Michael is an Anglican church in Newquay with walls of squared elvan rubble and granite details, a slate roof, and a southwest tower topped with an embattled parapet. The building displays the architectural language of its construction period.
History
The current building began construction in 1909 from a design by Sir Ninian Comper and was completed in 1911 using traditional craftsmanship and local materials. The church replaced or renewed an earlier religious structure at this location.
Culture
The interior features carved wooden screens and stained glass windows designed by Ninian Comper that fill the space with colored light. These details shape the experience when entering the church.

Did you know?
A fire in 1993 damaged the building significantly, but careful restoration work supported by English Heritage brought it back to its current condition. The rebuilding required skilled craftsmanship to preserve the original details.
