The small church of Saint John the Evangelist, which stands in the centre of the single village street, was built in 1841 through the generosity of the Dalton family of Sleningford Grange in memory of Elizabeth Dalton. It is built of cobblestones taken from the river Ure, which runs the length of the village on the north side.
Many wild flowers, both common and rare, grow in the churchyard and a photographic record of these is kept in the church.
There are a number of gravestones of Irish Catholics in the graveyard. These are of immigrants who came to work in a flax mill near the river during the potato famine in Ireland in the 1840s. The ruins of the flax mill can still be seen.
The first vicar of Mickley, the Rev John Walker Harrison, is buried in his family vault in the churchyard.
Several other vicars are buried nearby; most near the east wall of the church.
