The Church of England parish church of St Michael and All Angels has been a dependent chapelry of St Andrew's parish church, Churcham since at least AD 1100.[2] Both St Andrew's and St Michael's are now members of the Forest Edge group of churches.[3]
St Michael's building is Norman.[4] A Perpendicular Gothic window on the south side of the nave is a fifteenth-century addition.[5] In 1886 the building was restored under the direction of the architect Sidney Gambier-Parry.[4] The church is a Grade I listed building.[5]
Bulley has had a long association with Churcham. When a parish school was founded for Churcham and Bulley in 1856 it was built at Bulley.[6] Under the Local Government Act 1894 Bulley was made a separate civil parish, but on 1 April 1935 it was merged with Churcham.[7][8]
