St Michael’s Church is old enough to be mentioned in the Domesday Book  as ‘Michelescherce’. Bounded by the River Wyre, it has been called St  Michaels-on-Wyre since the 1100s.

The earliest parts of the present building are Norman, as can be  evidenced by the door on its north side. The site is even older though  and there has probably been a church here since Saxon times.

The church is typical of late Medieval churches of northern England and is constructed of sandstone ashlar and rubble.

The plan consists of a tower at the west end, a chancel and nave under a  continuous roof and a chapel to the north. The tower is said to date  from 1549.

Thank you. One of the churches' most recent sad events was the service of a woman who lost her life in the river last year. The tragedy made national news in the UK.
