St Michael's Church

St Michael's Church

St Michael's Church, Eastrington is at the centre of the village. A church at Eastrington is mentioned in the 1086

medieval building work, while the north and south aisles were later additions and probably paid for by three local families - the Askes, Kayvills (or Cavilles) and Portingtons. In the Portington chapel, a "coffin shaped cross slab with lead filled design" can be found on the floor dated from the early 13th century, also a second cross slab carved in relief, dated from the late 13th century. There is a shield below the cross head, probably the Caville coat of arms.[citation needed
]

Architectural evidence suggests that much of St Michael's Church building surviving today was built during the 14th century. The windows of the chapel are typical of the 14th century and a

tombstone recorded as being in the church in 1584 was inscribed with the words "Orate pro animabus Nicholai de Portington, militis, qui istam capellam fieri fecit" (Pray for the soul of Nicholas Portington, knight, who caused this chapel to be built). It is thought[by whom?] to be that of Nicholas Portington who was still alive in 1327.[citation needed

The church was designated a Grade I listed building in 1966 and is now recorded in the National Heritage List for England, maintained by Historic England.[7]
