Plumstead Church
St Michael and All Angels dates from the early 12th century and has 'herring-boned' courses of carstone visible in the north wall which are typical of the period. The church has a lovely simplicity, with the tower being the most prominent feature. The tower has a chimney in it, and the recess for the fireplace is now used as a cupboard! Interestingly, the north wall has no windows and the division between the roofs of the chancel and the nave are marked by different construction. The chancel has a hammer beam roof, and the nave a trussed rafter roof.
