St Michael's, Sutton Bonington
St Michael's is the northernmost of the two medieval parish churches at Sutton Bonington and with its slender tower and tapering spire is by far the more imposing of the two buildings. The present building is the result of successive modifications from the 13th to 15th centuries while the chancel was mostly rebuilt during the Victorian restoration.
The interior is spacious with aisles on either side and walls scraped back to the stonework. There is an interesting mix of 19th and 20th century glass by various makers (including four by C.E. Kempe) and this doesn't lower the light level too significantly owing to the generous clerestorey windows high in the nave.
St Michael's is worth a look, a handsome building with some rewarding windows, and happily in normal times seems to be usually kept open and welcoming to visitors (like its sister church down the road).
