The Church of St Michael is a Grade II listed building, and was constructed in 1828 on the site of an ancient chapel. After being hit by a German bomb in 1941, the church was partially destroyed - before being restored in 1952. The event was recorded by a local humorist, Tom Wise in a poem called ‘The Sterndale Blitz’: They bombed our church them Germans did In nineteen forty one And left it there without a lid Exposed to wind and sun And when at last the war was o’er And Hitler was the loser We knelt, praying as of yore Thanked God they missed the boozer.
