Churches (132) : St Michael-on-Greenhill, Lichfield

The parish church of St Michael-on-Greenhill in Lichfield, Staffordshire has existed since 1190 though much of the current church dates from an extensive restoration in 1842-3. The oldest part of the church is some 13th century masonry in the chancel. The West tower is 15th century, it's spire needed replacing in 1601 after the original was blown down.

The church was much changed by it's 19th century rebuilding. Changes included remodelling the South aisle and adding perpendicular windows to the North aisle.
