It is the location of Highfield House, where Neville Chamberlain died in 1940, and it is adjacent to Stratfield Saye House, the large stately home that has been the home of the Dukes of Wellington since 1817. Highfield House is now a hotel and venue facility.
There has been a church on the site of St Michael's since least the 12th-century.[2]
