History
editThe church was built in 1875 and was consecrated on 20 January 1876. Together with St Swithun's Church, St Michael's was one of the town's two central churches to be designed by Richard Norman Shaw.[2][3]
In December 1884, clergyman Dennis Hird was ordained as a Church of England deacon and appointed to St Michaels.[4]
In 2021, the church was renamed St Mike's to attract younger generations.[5]
