2. St Michael's church is located in the centre of the village of Llanvihangel Crucorney. The church is a medieval foundation with likely Norman origins, as suggested by the twelfth-century west wall of the nave. The tower base and the chancel are perhaps of thirteenth or fourteenth-cenury date. The Victorian restoration (windows, chancel arch etc) dates from 1884-7. The church is built of red sandstone rubble with some ashlar dressings, and stone tile roofs. It comprises nave of four and a half bays (only the eastern two are roofed), chancel, west tower (tapered in four stages) and gabled south porch. Inside, the roofed nave and chancel have stripped walls, modern ceiling to nave, 1887 waggon roof to chancel, chancel arch and east window of same date, also the pews. Notable is a wall memorial in the chancel of 1667 to Richard Sidnee; and there is a remarkable relief tomb slab in the nave, rather weathered from being outside but seemingly Elizabethan.
The church stands in a churchyard with a good variety of well-preserved early and mid-nineteenth century memorials, with some examples of locally carved headstones and chest tombs.
