Description	:	The dedication of Croft Church of St Michael and All Angels may well indicate a 7th Century foundation. Many churches dedicated to St Michael are situated on or near an eminence and in medieval times there would be an association of height with the mythical legends of St Michael. The church was rebuilt in 1878, and the faculty for the rebuild dated 21st Feb 1878 states "All old architectural features would be preserved", but with the exception of the tower there was very little to preserve, so we have a new church built to a 14th century tower.
