St.Michael's is built in the Perpendicular style and is a great example of this 15th century building development. The former Norman chapel, on whose site the present church is constructed, had fallen into disrepair. Henry VI made monies available for the rebuild, using revenue from the nearby port of Alnmouth. The Dukes of Northumberland added features in 1782 and 1818, the last increasing seating capacity to 1200.
A final restoration in 1863 by the 4th Duke's architect, Anthony Salvin while he was working on the castle, corrected any anomalies left over from previous work. It is a Grade I listed building.
The church looks down over the River Aln on the north side of the town.
