This twelfth century church is adjacent to Amberley Castle, the hunting lodge of the medieval bishops of Chichester until the seventeenth century. It has a large Norman chancel arch and early English windows. There are medieval wall paintings and a monumental brass of a local MP who died in 1424. Arthur Rackham, the illustrator, is commemorated in a wall plaque in the churchyard.

St Michael's church is tucked away in Amberley village next to the castle. It is an ancient church set in its peaceful churchyard but continues to be a living church community seeking to know, love and follow Jesus.
