The Story of the Church
The current Church of St Michael and All Angels opened its doors on December 12, 1861. It was built to replace an older church in Bramcote. You can still see the tower of that old church today!
Designing the New Church
A talented architect named John Johnson designed this beautiful new church. His plans created the building we see standing today.
Special Features of the Church
The church has a very tall spire, reaching 130 feet into the sky. In 2011, which was the church's 150th birthday, the spire had some important repairs. Inside the church, you'll find a special stone basin called a font. This font is very old, from the 13th century, and was moved from the old church to the new one in 1861.
A Protected Building
This church is considered a very important building. It's been given a special status called 'Grade II listed' by the government. This means it's recognized for its unique design or its important history. Buildings with this status are protected so they can be preserved for the future.
