St Hilda's is a well cared for and very typical "Mission Church" built around 1900.
The Church can be easily converted for multi use and benefits from modern kitchen, toilet and disabled access facilities.
There is a (very striking!) mural of the last supper and a Dali like crucifixion scene, commissioned in the 1980's.

St Michaels is an unkown architechural gem!
Not only is a perfectly proportioned "mini" church (it seats about 50) it contains a unique perfect norman arch INSIDE - and therefore unweathered and intact, with lovely carvings.
The small tower has 2 small rung bells.
It contains some wonderful "wheatsheaf" early victorian stained glass - largely dedicated to the Petch family.
