Surrounded by its beautiful, historic and thousand year old churchyard, the ancient church lies in the centre of Cranwell village. It is one of the oldest in Lincolnshire.

A church at Wilsford is mentioned in Domesday Book, but the building dates to the 11th - 15th centuries, with a restoration in 1860 by Kirk and Parry.
Rebuilt on the site of the medieval church, which was destroyed by a bomb on the night of 8th/9th May 1941, St Michael's is built of concrete with Ancaster stone facings outside. The tall windows allow the building to be filled with light. Unusually, there is no east window.
This rural church contains extensive wall paintings that were hidden from view until a bomb dropped nearby in World War II. The building also contains other treasures including a 12th century tub font, a two decker pulpit, a medieval rood screen and pews, graffiti from the 1600's and an altar rail from the 18th century.
