"The Church of St. Michael with St. Paul was designed in the Early English style of Gothic architecture by the city architect C.P. Manners, who is said to have been inspired by the ornamentation and general appearance of the Lady Chapel at Salisbury Cathedral.

Construction of the present church (the fourth on the site) began on 21 April 1835, and the church was consecrated on 4 January, 1837. By reason of its confined site, and the fact that the building is much larger than its predecessors, the church stands North and South, instead facing East towards Jerusalem."

The tower, including lantern and spire is thought to be the tallest of its kind in Bath at 180ft. There is a peal of eight bells, most transferred from the previous building, having been cast in 1757 though the seventh was recast in 1912. They are still very much in use by the parish ringers as well as visiting groups from all over the country and abroad.
