The building as designed by Mowbray has never been completed. It has a chancel, north and south transepts, vestry, and a south chapel beside the chancel, but the nave and north and south aisles comprise only one bay ending in a “temporary” west wall that has stood for more than a century. The building is coursed rubblestone apart from the temporary west wall, which is brick.
It is substantial in scale and has a statue of St. Michael by Michael Groser and a reredos painted by Leon Underwood.St. Michael’s is described as being in a “vaguely Italian renaissance style” but the building is slightly limited by its corner site.
