The Church of St. Michael and All Angels, Averham is a parish church in the Church of England in Averham, Nottinghamshire.
The church is Grade I listed by the Department for Culture, Media & Sport as a building of outstanding architectural or historic interest.
The Church of St. Michael and All Angels is part of a joint parish which includes the churches of St. Wilfrid's Church, Kelham, St. Wilfrid's Church, North Muskham and St. Wilfrid's Church, South Muskham.
The style of masonry in parts of the tower, nave and chncel prove that the structure is of Norman date though the tower arch is later. Also added later were the buttresses and pinnacles of the tower and the south porch (containing letters and shields referring to Sir Thomas Sutton, died 1525, and his wife). There is a fine east window in the chancel and the screen is simple early Perpendicular.
The north window contains some fragments of glass found in Kelham Hall and put together by Frederick Heathcote Sutton, rector of St. Helen's Church, Brant Broughton in Lincolnshire. Additionally, there is some late Victorian stained glass by Heaton, Butler and Bayne.
