History

The tower of the church remains from the 15th century. The rest of the building was rebuilt in 1839 by George Phillips Manners, incorporating some of the fabric from the earlier structure. [2] Further Victorian restoration was carried out by E.W. Buckle, [1] after which it was reconsecrated on 21 January 1886. [3]

The parish is part of the Bath Marlbrook Team benefice within the Diocese of Bath and Wells. [4] It serves the community of Twerton and provides a community centre and cafe, recording studio and a range of community projects. [5]

Architecture

The limestone building has slate and lead roofs. It consists of a nave, chancel with attached vestry and north and south aisles. The three-stage west tower is supported by diagonal buttresses. [1]

The south door is all that remains from the original Norman structure which stood there c. 1100.

St Michael and All Angels Church, Southwick Church in West Sussex , England

St Michael and All Angels Church is an Anglican church in the town of Southwick in the district of Adur, one of seven local government districts in the English county of West Sussex. Some Saxon-era structural work is still visible despite rebuilding work in the 12th and 13th centuries and in more recent times; and a church may have existed on the site as early as the 10th century—before the ancient settlement of Southwick even took that name. The church has been damaged by fire and bombing, but is still in active use as the area's parish church. English Heritage has listed it at Grade II* for its architectural and historical importance.
