The Church of St Michael is in the county border straddling village of Woburn Sands, the church being inside Bedfordshire. The church was built to serve the new ecclesiastical parish of Woburn Sands with building beginning in 1868 and being completed the next year for the comparatively small budget of £5000. The church was built from coursed limestone with an ashlar dressing.
The church was enlarged in 1889, the chancel was lengthened and a large East facing stain glass window added. To celebrate the church's centenery the church was reclad in 1968.
