It is a Norman style church, which dates from the thirteenth century.[2] It has a north porch, built later in the fifteenth century and some of the original timbers still exist today.[3]
Hallaton parish church
The church is dedicated to St Michael and is mainly of the 13th century: the aisles were added a century later.[4] The church is sited on rising ground and has a dignified tower with a fine broach spire (one of the best in the county); the nave and chancel and aisles have nobility and beauty. The sculptured stonework of the north aisle contrasts with the plain battlemented south aisle. A former rector is commemorated by a handsome monument attached to one of the corners.[5]
