Some parts of the manor House date from the twelfth century, others are extensions or rebuildings of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.

It has associations with the Tyrwhitt and Chaplin families.

St Michael's now consists only of a small nave with bellcote and chancel.  This view of the east end shows how close the building is to the modern road (B1398).

The Tyrwitt family once had a seat here, and in the chancel is an elegant memorial to Mrs Jane Tyrwitt d 1657.

Kelly's Directory 1919 states "The church of St. Michael is a building of stone in the Early English style, consisting of chancel and nave and a western turret:

the present church is but a remnant of a much larger building in the Perpendicular style; it formerly had a south aisle, the built-up arcade of which now forms the north side of the structure:

in the churchyard graves have been discovered from time to time very skilfully fashioned in the rock, after the ancient form of the "kistvaen :"

in the church is an ancient monument of the Tyrwhitt family, ancestors of Viscount Oxenbridge:

there are 90 sittings"

White's Directory 1872 states "CAMMERINGHAM, a secluded village, 7 miles N. by W. of Lincoln, has in its parish 139 souls and 1806 acres, including the two farms of Furze Hill (170A.), which belong to Admiral d'Eyncourt and Miss Hurdis.

The rest of the parish is the property of Lord Monson, the lord of the manor, impropriator, and patron of the Church (St. Michael), which has been considerably reduced from its original dimensions, and contains several monuments, one with a lengthy inscription in memory of the Tyrwhitt family, who were formerly proprietors of the parish"

"Cammeringham Grade II* listed Anglican church is dedicated to St Michael.

St Michael's is a remnant of a much larger church; arches from the earlier building are embedded into its aisle wall, and the west doorway has a pre-Conquest knotwork sill.

The graveyard holds ancient graves hollowed out of the rock.

Within the parish was the Praemonstratensian Cammeringham Priory, founded by Richard de Haya about 1160 as an alien cell to the Abbey of Blanchelande in Normandy.

The priory and its rights was sold in 1396 to the Cistercian Abbot of Hulton in Staffordshire"

The church was restored in 1950s which may have been when the screen, shown in a photo on the north wall, was removed.
