Saint Michael's Church dated 1870, is the only original Lakeland example of architecture by William Butterfield, and therefore demands attention. William Butterfield (1814-1900) was an important ecclesiastical architect, creating many churches including Keble College Chapel, Oxford. Lamplugh is a fairly plain design, with a few oddities, such as the two storey chancel arch which incorporates an earlier Perpendicular arch. The window, designed by Charles Kempe, depicts John the Baptist with his mother and a scroll inscribed "Ecce Agnus Dei", "Behold the Lamb of God".
