St. Michael’s Church, Newhaven

St. Michael’s Church is Newhaven’s oldest building, having celebrated its 900th anniversary in 2020.

In this recording you will learn about its connection to the Battle of Hastings, find out about the organ and bells and hear about some naughty choir boys!

St. Michael’s organist and pianist, composer and Newhaven resident Mike Flood, talks about the church’s history and plays both the church’s organ and bells.

Here’s a link to St Michael’s church website and to Mike’s music, celebrating the 900 years St Michael’s has watched over the town.
