The church is on the western edge of the parish and is dedicated to
Saint Michael. The earliest record of a monastery on the site is in the seventh century, but it is with the arrival of the
Knights Templar in 1180 that the history of the church at Garway becomes clearer. The Knights Templar built a hut in honour of the
Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Brooks and
Pevsner, in the 2012 revision to the
Herefordshire volume of the
Buildings of England, describe St Michael's as "uncommonly interesting". The excavated foundations of part of the round church (unearthed in 1927) can be seen clearly on the north side of the present church, and the original carved chancel arch, heavily decorated and in the
Norman style, survives. Most of the current church, which is no longer round, is probably 13th century including the massive defensible tower which was once separate from the main church building. There are numerous carvings both inside and outside the building including a
Green Man, a sword believed to be Templar, a fish and a snake.
