St Michael and All Angels Church in Bugbrooke, Northamptonshire, carries a rich heritage stretching back to the early 13th century, though documentary evidence suggests there may have been an earlier church on or near the site. The earliest clear record appears in 1220, when Ranulf, Earl of Chester, rebuilt the church following the devastation of Bugbrooke village during the baronial civil wars of 1216. Originally dedicated to the Assumption of Our Lady, it later became St Mary's and only in the 19th century was rededicated as St Michael and All Angels. The church is constructed mainly from marlstone, a type of sandstone interspersed with ironstone, and its oldest visible feature is the south aisle, added in about 1225 and possibly reusing round piers from another building. The broad nave of four bays, original chancel, and subsequent additions—including a chancel arch from around 1270 and a north aisle with octagonal piers completed by 1280—showcase its medieval architecture and the village’s gradual recovery from upheaval. Over time, the church’s interior underwent significant changes, transitioning from walls covered in brightly painted biblical scenes and abundant statues to a more austere appearance after the iconoclasm of the Reformation and later Puritan movements. Most decoration and statuary were lost, with whitewashed walls and eventual removal of the original plaster in the early 20th century. The church’s location at the edge of the village, its stone spire built in the 14th century housing a peal of five bells, and its leaning south arcade all add character and a sense of lived history to the building. Today, St Michael and All Angels remains an active parish church, valued for both its architectural significance and its role as a centre of worship, heritage, and community life in Bugbrooke. The tower holds a ring of five bells, all cast by different founders on different dates. The treble was cast in 1863 by G Mears & Co, the second in 1868 by Robert Stainbank. The third is the oldest bell, having been cast in 1599 by Francis Watts. This bell is listed for preservation and was cast during his final year of operation. The fourth was cast in 1931 by Gillett & Johnston and is the most recent addition to the ring. The tenor was cast in 1695 by Hentry II Bagley. It weighs 14-0-14cwt and is tuned to 'F'. In 1941, 10 years after the casting of the fourth, all five bells were rehung on new fittings in a new timber frame by John Taylor & Co, which was very unusual for this time as cast iron frames had become the norm. There is also a sanctus bell, cast by Thomas II Mears in 1813, weighing 0-2-21 and tuned to 'F'. 5 bells, 14-0-14 in F.
