St. Michael's Church (in full, St. Michael and All Angels) in Ashton-under-Lyne (gbmapping|SJ94159900) is a Grade I Listed Building. It is one of 116 surviving medieval parish churches in the North West. The church dates back to at least 1262, and a church on the site was mentioned in the Domesday Book. The church was rebuilt in the fifteenth century and in 1515 at the behest of Sir Thomas de Assheton; however little of the previous church remains after it was rebuilt again in the nineteenth century.
