Ground Plan of St Michael's

The plan shows the church to be cruciform shape and the apse is directed to the east to Jerusalem. Its interior dimensions are

Length : 56m
Width : 32m
Height : 28m

Seldom used is the font in the south west corner of the church (immediately in front of a showcase which occupies the space of a lepers' squint). Baptisms now take place in front of the congregation with the minister situated just before the chancel.

The Choir Stalls are used for the smaller monthly communions and for weddings.

For weddings, family and guests customarly sit in the Choir Stalls with the wedding party standing immediately in front of chancel steps. The signing of the marriage schedule is normally performed in the Queen's Aisle.
