There is a strong sense of this church’s ancient presence in the landscape. The tower dates to the 14th century and if you look closely you will see the line of an earlier roof. The font features heads, a shield and roses. Wooden framed windows were installed in the chancel in the 18th century. In 1802 Lady Mary Beauchamp bought a significant amount of 15th century glass from Rouen Cathedral that had been removed for safekeeping during the French Revolution. It was also installed at Chedgrave, All Saints and Thurton, St Ethelbert. Behind the church is Langley Hall, in the red brick Palladian style, which is now used as a school. The hall was built for Richard Berney in 1737 on land owned by Langley Abbey until the Dissolution of the Monasteries. To the north east of the church is the manor house Langley Grange. St Michael’s Church is usually open most weekends when there is someone on site. The noticeboard with the keyholder details is currently being refurbished.
