History
The church of Saint Michael began as temporary services held in a boy's school in Bingfield Street from 1853. A permanent church was constructed in 1863-64, and a parish was assigned in 1864. The church was united with Saint Andrew, Thornhill Square, in 1977 and Saint Andrew's became the parish church. Saint Michael's church building was closed.
