Chesterton - Church of St Michael

In the Early English Church of St Michael, with its spired tower and long lancet windows, is an imposing nave, old bench-ends and doom painting above the chancel arch. There is much Georgian work including the chancel, a wooden screen in Roman Doric style, altar table, communion rail and font. There is a monument to William Beville, 1483 and a Jacobean one to Sir Robert Beville and his family, showing two kneeling couples with their children facing them.

There is a family memorial to the poet's cousin, John Dryden (or Driden).
