Notes: St Michael's church in Kerry, about three miles to the south-east of Newtown, is a double-naved structure with a large west tower. Of the original Norman church only the arcade survives, and from the 14th century is the chancel arcade and the tower which is in typical Montgomeryshire style with a timber-framed belfry. The main body of the church was rebuilt in 1882-3. Inside there are 14th or 15th century roofs, a bell of around 1410, a Perpendicular font, together with an 18th century chest and a few monuments of the same century. The churchyard, a polygonal enclosure with a trace of curvilinearity, is set on high ground overlooking the valley of the River Mule. It contains the plinth for a sundial and a few pre-19th century monuments.
