Britain's What's On Event Guide
St Michael & All Angels Church, Northern Moor
Heritage Open Day: St Michael & All Angels is a spectacular 20th century church, built in the shape of a star. Features of interest include the huge blue and red pointed east window of the Heavenly Host by Christopher Webb and a double, star-shaped chandelier. St Michael & All Angels is a Grade II* listed building designed by architect Nugent Cachemaille-Day (consecrated in 1937). The church's unattractive exterior hides a beautiful and awe-inspiring interior. The church is an unusual star shape consisting of two interlocking squares. The Art Deco interior including the stained glass east window, chandelier and massive octagonal font and pulpit, with incised coloured line-drawings of St John the Baptist and the sower, make this a stunning building well worth visiting.
