St Michael's Church, Cockerham

The sandstone church features a three-stage tower with diagonal buttresses, a battlemented parapet, and a five-bay nave with a clerestory under a slated roof.

The tower dates from the 16th century, while architects Austin and Paley rebuilt the main structure in 1911 at a cost equivalent to £640,000 in 2023.

The east window contains stained glass by Morris & Co, displaying the Four Evangelists with designs influenced by Ford Madox Brown and Edward Burne-Jones.

The Anglican parish church conducts Holy Communion services every first, third, fourth, and fifth Sunday at 9:30 AM, welcoming all members of the public.

The churchyard contains an 18th-century base sundial and serves as the final resting place for British and Canadian soldiers from World War I.
