Custodial history:
Great Lever was an ancient township in the parish of Middleton, without its own church, until 1851, when St. Michael was built by public subscription on land donated by the Earl of Bradford, who became its patron. It was consecrated on 29 Sept. 1851.
Part of the parish was assigned to St. Bartholomew in 1880, but the two parishes were united in 1961 as the parish of St. Michael and St. Bartholomew.
Archdeacon John Rushton's Visitation Papers include a Visitation return, n.d. and miscellaneous notes on the church (MSf942.72 R121 vol. 50)
