St Michael and All Angels, Little Leigh, Cheshire, by Edmund Kirby (1838-1920). Built 1878-79, and Grade II listed. Described in its listing text as being of "[f]iery orange brick and terracotta" inside and out, and "[s]lightly Roguish Gothic," it is noted by Nikolaus Pevsner and Edward Hubbard as being one of Kirby's best churches: "his brick details, especially the many moulded brick doorways and other arches, are a hallmark" (36). The tall flèche is another striking feature of the exterior, while the interior, which is also brick, and rich with terracotta detailing, has a particularly fine terracotta reredos of the Last Supper.
