St Michael's church is notable for the tomb of Elizabeth Danvers and the tower built in Anglo Saxon times.[1] The rest of the church was built in 1639 but includes remains of the medieval church. The east end was rebuilt in 1860[2]
According to legend, the site of the church was chosen by a supernatural spirit. It is said that the church's builders found their materials moved to a different location overnight for nine consecutive nights, so they eventually built the church in that location. This is supposedly where the name Stowe Nine Churches derives from.[3]
