Church of St John the Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a parish church built in 1905 by architects Caroë and Passmore, replacing an earlier church from 1822 to 1824 located on a lower site beside the burn. The building is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with ashlar dressings and quoins, topped with a Welsh slate roof featuring stone gable copings. It has a nave with a south porch, a chancel with a south vestry, and an organ chamber. The gabled porch features a deeply-chamfered open round arch and a boarded inner door. The nave has round-headed narrow windows set in buttressed bays, with three similar windows in the west end and in the south gable of the vestry. The east window consists of three lights, and the low-pitched roof is topped with a gabled west bellcote above an overhanging gabled bellcote.

Inside, the church features stone with ashlar dressings and an arch-braced collar-beam roof with wind braces. There is a round arch leading to the chancel and a chamfered round arch to the organ, along with a wide segmental arch over the sedilia. A simple octagonal stone pedestal font with an ogee-shaped 17th-century wooden cover is present. Memorials to the Featherstone family, which were removed from the former church, include a white marble oval on a black mount dedicated to Mrs Ann Featherstone, who died in 1834 and was buried in the Church of St John in Newcastle, as well as a high-relief depiction of the Featherstone arms in wood.
