Parish church
The parish church of St Michael and All Angels has been a dependent chapelry of St Andrew's parish church, Churcham since at least AD 1100.[1] Both St Andrew's and St Michael's are now members of the Forest Edge group of churches.[2]
St Michael's is a Norman building.[3] A Perpendicular Gothic window on the south side of the nave is a 15th-century addition.[4] In 1886 the building was restored under the direction of the architect Sidney Gambier-Parry.[3] The church is a Grade I listed building.[4]
History
Bulley has had a long association with Churcham. When a parish school was founded for Churcham and Bulley in 1856 it was built at Bulley.[5]
