• William More (15th century brass) - see Church History for further details
• Henry Zinzan and Jacoba (née Vanlore) - see Church History for further details

The Blagrave and Webb families have had links with Reading and the surrounding parishes, including St Michael's, for many centuries.  Reading has some streets named after the Blagrave and Zinzan families.

Artworks:

• The ikon painting of St Michael (dating from 1980).
• The statue of Madonna, given in memory of John Sefton Tilston, Rector 1980-84.
• The tryptich painting of the nativity scene, by Jane Masson, entitled "The Adoration Of The Shepherds".  Located in the chancel sedilia, it depicts many local parishioners.
