St Michael's Church, Brighton, Gothic Revival church building in Montpelier district, Brighton, England.
St Michael's Church is a Gothic Revival church in the Montpelier area of Brighton, built with red brick walls accented by white stone bands and pointed arch windows. The interior features a stone chancel arch, decorative columns with carved leaf motifs, and a collection of stained glass windows beneath a prominent slate roof.
The building was designed by architect George Frederick Bodley in 1860 and later expanded by William Burges in 1893 to accommodate a growing congregation. This expansion marked an important moment in the church's development as a community institution.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community, with its interior shaped by artistic design choices that reflect its religious purpose. The stained glass windows create a contemplative environment that visitors notice immediately upon entering.
The building is accessible to visitors with level access at the main entrance and street parking available nearby. Guests should be aware of service times when the space is in active use for worship and community gatherings.
The bell tower contains a bell from Sevastopol that arrived during the Crimean War period, creating an unusual connection between this place of worship and a distant military conflict. Few visitors realize how this object links the church to broader historical events beyond its local community.
