St Michael's church is situated near the centre of Roman Verulamium to the west of St Albans. One of the three daughter churches of St Alban's Abbey, it was built partly with Roman bricks in 948 AD, enlarged in the 12th century and a lady chapel added in the 13th century. It is the most significant Anglo-Saxon building in Hertfordshire.

After the dissolution of the monasteries, its' patronage passed to the nearby Gorhambury Estate. A memorial to politician Sir Francis Bacon, one of the owners of Gorhambury, stands within the church.

The churchyard surrounding the building contains a sparse distribution of memorials. Many older gravestones have been used as paving slabs. A small cremation area is situated west of the church.
