St Michael?s Church ? interior by Willettsworld
The interior of the church is rather plain but there are a few things of interest. Firstly, there's a monument of Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626) who was a famous author, lawyer, statesman, philosopher and scientist who was a parishioner of the church. The monument is possible the work of Nicholas Stone and was erected in 1630. Next is the lovely Jacobean oak pulpit that features a crowned Tudor rose which might associate it with the visit of Queen Elizabeth I's visit to nearby Gorhambury. Then there's the 15th century octangonal font which is symbolically sited near the entrance.
