St Michael’s Church
About

St Michael’s Church, known as St Michael’s Without, stands as a striking landmark at the junction of Broad Street and Walcot Street in Bath. Its name reflects its original position outside the medieval city walls, just beyond the North Gate. The current building, completed in 1837, is the fourth church to occupy this historic site and was designed by city architect G. P. Manners in the Early English Gothic style. Its soaring spire remains one of the tallest in Bath, visible across the city skyline. Inside, the church blends Victorian grandeur with modern functionality, offering a light-filled space used for worship, concerts, and community events. The crypt has been transformed into a welcoming café and meeting area, while the main church hosts regular services and cultural activities. With a history of Christian worship spanning over 900 years, St Michael’s continues to serve as a spiritual and social hub in the heart of Bath.
