St Michael & All Angels, Creaton

Situated on a mound in the heart of this warm and friendly village, our humble parish church offers some surprisingly interesting features. Its first Rector was installed in 1226, but the fabric of the building is possibly slightly older than this date. Its features include medieval stonework – such as corbels, gargoyles and pinnacles – a Jacobean pulpit and altar rail (the latter in storage awaiting restoration), and a late 19th Century, Oxford Movement - inspired Chancel. The Chancel boasts a remarkable, elaborate Altar and Triptych which are unusual for a small village. The stained-glass windows are also worthy of note. There are information displays in the church which give more details, including a brief history of the damage caused by a Doodlebug (V1) flying bomb in 1944. 

In the past couple of years extensive refurbishment has been done within the building. Including installing an accessible toilet and a servery, levelling the internal floors, installing a beautiful tower screen. In 2025 the pipe organ has been restored to its former glory.
