The Church of St Michael and All Angels in Anniston was completed in 1890 with a Norman Influence found in the 95-foot tower that houses 12 bells. The interior of St Michael features a 12-foot long white Carrara marble altar, stained-glass windows and hand-carved woodwork from oak and long leaf pine. Alabama marble was used on the floor of the chancel and sanctuary while tiles imported from England were used in the nave and cloisters.
