Church Building

The present St. Michael's church building is a little over 100 years old, but the main door is from the earlier Norman church and there is some Jacobean panelling in the Vicar's Vestry.

There is churchyard surrounding the church building. A team of volunteers keeps our grounds tidy and the grass in the surrounding cemetery cut.

We need as many helpers as we can get as we only have a team of 4 volunteers at the moment. Ideally we could do with at least 5 so that 3 can strim and 2 can cut when we are all there together. this allows for holidays and other commitments without coming back to long grass.
Are you able to spare an hour or so on a Tuesday or Friday morning? Please wither have a word with Glenn or ring John on 0113 253 2796 for further details.

The wood panelling in wedding flowers the sancturay together with the choir stalls and furnishings makes St Michael's an excellent place for flower displays. The church hosted a flower festival by East Ardsley Flower Club on 11th - 13th July 2009. The warm tones of the wood in the sanctuary also provide a perfect backdrop for your wedding flower displays.



St Michael's has a fine clock in the church tower. The church clock was recently returned to running order again after a very long lay off due to the complexity of the repairs.

St Michael's also has a historical peal of 8 bells which are rung regularly for the main Sunday services.

The church has a pipe organ which is used regulary for Sunday services and weddings. Details of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register
