Summary Description

St Michael’s Church is situated on the single main road, which runs through Hamworthy, and our clock tower is visible as a landmark from many parts of the urban townscape. The churchyard has local historical significance as it houses the war memorial and a Memorial Lychgate. St Michael’s Church was built in 1959, the third iteration of the church. The Church is constructed from brick, in a mid-20th-Century design, typical of post-war church buildings.
