St Michael's Church

About

St Michael's Church, Flixton, is a Grade II* listed Church of England parish church situated in Flixton, Greater Manchester, within the Diocese of Manchester. Historically, the parish also encompassed Urmston. The church is dedicated to Michael the Archangel.

Potentially a site of worship since before the Norman Conquest of 1066, the church is documented to have been established by at least 1198. From the 13th to the 19th centuries, it was under the jurisdiction of the Diocese of Lichfield. The current structure, incorporating fragments of 12th-century stonework, predominantly dates from the 15th century, with subsequent rebuilds and restorations.

The churchyard houses gravestones dating back to 1669. Located on high ground near the River Mersey, the church offers extensive views over Carrington Moss. The church is located in the Flixton Conservation Area.
