The first St Michael's Church was opened in 1787, and was situated to the west of the Assembly Rooms. It is described as a small building that had taken 20 years to build. This was was replaced by a large, cruciform building of 1829-33 by Edward Haycock, of which the west vestry survives roofless, some 40m south-west of the present church. The existing large and prosperous late-Victorian building is of 1889-90 by R. Nicolson of Hereford. It is constructed of Yorkshire stone with Bromsgrove dressings and Westmorland green slates, in English Decorated style (old fashioned for its date, and that makes few concessions to Wales.
James Williams "... met his untimely death by a shot fired from a French war vessel off Belle Isle, Bay of Biscay,...".
