Great Houghton, St Michael and All Angels

            St Michael’s was built as a Chapel of Ease in 1650. It is one of three Cromwellian churches (as there were very few churches built during this time).

The church was built by the local High Sherriff Sir Edward Rhodes, who lived in the Old Hall. He was a Puritan who had links with Oliver Cromwell. At the time, Cromwell was overseeing the country as the Lord Chief Protector after refusing the crown and he visited the church, approving of its small but simple design.

The church contains Jacobean box pews and pulpit, panelled doors from c1600 and lovely stained glass windows. A small extension was added in 1959, which contains choir stalls by Robert ‘Mouseman’ Thompson, which feature his distinctive mouse feature.

The East Window

The stained glass in the east window was added in 1911. It was designed by William Thomas Camm and manufactured by Stamford. It depicts the Holy Rood which is the figure of Christ on the cross, with the Virgin Mary and St John at either side. At each side of the window, fastened to the brickwork, were two large plaques displaying the words of the Ten Commandments. These were removed to the tower room at Darfield church in 1906 for safe keeping when the church was altered. They can still be seen there.
