A plaque fixed to the outside of this building reads:
"St Michael's Church. One of the nine medieval churches of Chester, it stands on the site of the southern gateway of the Roman fortress. In 1849-51 it was virtually rebuilt by the Chester architect James Harrison, although early features survive inside. St Michaels opened as Britain's first Heritage Centre in 1975."
The cost of the Victorian rebuilding was £1,700.
The clock face on the south side of the tower appears to have vanished!
