Description:Painted boards listing local charities in Stone. They are fixed to the walls of the north Porch staircase.

St. Michael's was built in 1758 on the site of the twelfth century Priory Church of St. Mary and St. Wulfad. The present church was designed by William Robinson of Greenwich and the main building work was undertaken by Charles Cope Trubshaw of Great Haywood.

In the churchyard can be found the mausoleum of the Earl of St. Vincent, Nelson's Admiral, and the tombs of the Crompton family.

The porch holds two thirteenth century priory effigies and the interior contains its original box pews.
