St Michael's church, Halam
Grade I listed
The church dates from the 12th century onwards and was restored in the 1880s.
There is no mention of the church in the Domesday survey. The oldest part is the chancel arch. There is a bell dating from the 13th century.
Halam was originally a Chapel of ease to Southwell, but is now a parish in its own right.
There is a western tower, nave with south aisle, south chapel, chancel and north porch.
The lower part of the tower dates from the 13th century, the chancel from the 12th to the 14th century, the upper portions of the tower probably date from the 16th century, and the south aisle and north porch are from the 19th century.
In 1884 the church was in very poor condition, and the work of restoration was supervised by Ewan Christian. The original south two-bay arcade, dating from the 13th century, was revealed and a new south aisle built.
The church contains mediaeval glass from the 14th century, and several windows by Morris.
The organ is by Henry Groves, 2009.
