Source caption: "St Michael's Church Doorway at Farndish. The doorway is a good example of Early English craftsmanship. Local orange ironstone alternates with grey limestone lending the doorway a lively polychromatic effect."

view of church exterior - southwest view

Source caption: "The Church of St Michael & All Angels at Farndish. The church is thought to date from the late 12th century. It has a simple plan - nave and chancel only - with a low tower built inside the nave. The east window is 15th century and the south wall includes a very elegant 14th century ogee window. The church is currently redundant, though it remains consecrated and is looked after by the Redundant Churches Fund."

There are three entries for Farndish [variant spelling] in the Domesday survey [http://opendomesday.org/place/SP9263/farndish/] [accessed 11 September 2015], none of which mention cleric or church in it. Cox & Harvey (1907) list a baptismal font of the Early English period in this church. The Victoria County History (Bedford, vol. 3, 1912) notes: "The plan [of the church] is of c. 1180 with a small tower built inside the west end of the nave in the 15th century, [...] The font has a circular bowl on a round pier, and it is difficult to say to what period it belongs."
