Description
The Church of St John the Evangelist is a parish church built in 1843 by Ignatius Bonomi and J.A. Cory. It is constructed from dressed sandstone with ashlar dressings and features steeply-pitched Welsh slate roofs. The church includes a nave, chancel, south vestry, and west porch, designed in an Early English style. The windows have plate-tracery, consisting of paired lancets and quatrefoils under pointed hoodmoulds.
The nave and chancel have a double-chamfered plinth, a sill band, and flush quoins. The flat-buttressed, three-bay nave has clasping buttresses at the west end and where it joins the chancel. The west end features five stepped lancets, three of which are blocked, and a gabled bellcote with a single trefoil-headed opening that slightly projects from the wall on a row of three corbels. The lower and narrower two-bay chancel has a single lancet in the north wall and three stepped lancets at the east end. Attached to the chancel, the two-bay south vestry has a pointed-arched doorway, a paired lancet opening, and a corniced ashlar stack. The gabled west porch features a moulded, pointed arch of two orders, and the roofs have flat-coped gables.
Inside, the church has pointed rear-arches, a double-chamfered chancel arch that dies into the wall, a barrel roof in the nave supported by six arched braces on mid-wall corbels, and a barrel roof in the chancel with three arched braces.
