St Michael's Church, Weeton, Anglican church in Weeton, England
Description
St. Michael's Church in Weeton is an Anglican place of worship built from red brick with stone details and a slate roof topped by a small spire on its western end. The building sits on its own grounds and is surrounded by a churchyard with graves.
History
The church was built in 1843 after the 13th Earl of Derby donated the land for the project. Nine years later in 1852, architect Edwin Hugh Shellard added an expansion to the structure.
Culture
The wooden furnishings inside date from the 1800s and include a pulpit, a minister's desk, and pews with doors that show how churches were outfitted in that era. These fittings give visitors a sense of how worship spaces were arranged and used during the Victorian period.
Practical
Visitors can freely explore the churchyard and its gravestones at any time. The church interior is accessible during service times and can be viewed on other occasions by prior arrangement.
Did you know?
The churchyard holds memorial graves for two British Army soldiers who died in World War I and an airman from World War II. Walking through the cemetery, visitors can discover these individual stories of sacrifice.
