St Michael and All Angels Church, also known as St Michael and All Saints Church, on Mount Dinham in Exeter is an Anglican church in Devon, England. It is a Grade I listed[1] building.

The tradition of the church is Anglo-Catholic. The church building is in the Early English style and was built to the designs of Major Rohde Hawkins, 1867–68. The reredos is by W. D. Caroe, 1899.[3]

Within the Parish of St David with St Michael and All Angels, the building towers above its surroundings, the spire exceeding the height of even the towers of Exeter Cathedral.

History

The foundation stone was laid on 10 August 1865.[4] It was consecrated on 31 October 1868 by the Bishop of Fredericton.[5]

Organ

The first organ was installed in 1866 and was by William Hill & Son. This was replaced by an organ originally in St Jude's Church, Birmingham, dating from 1867 and built by Edward James Bossward. It was installed and much enlarged by Tim Trenchard in 2013. A specification of the organ can be found on the National Pipe Organ Register.[6]
