Description
The Church of St John is a parish church located on Main Street in Lowick. The nave and tower were built in 1794, with Gothic features added in the mid-19th century. The chancel was added in 1887 by architect F.R. Wilson. The tower and nave are roughcast with ashlar dressings, while the chancel is constructed of snecked rubble. The building features rock-faced buttresses and a roof made of Lakeland slate.
The church consists of a nave, chancel, west tower, and a north vestry. The nave and tower have rusticated quoins, and the tower includes a pointed-arched south door with an inscription above that reads: "THIS CHAPEL REBUILT AN DOM 1794 REV GEORGE GOODWILL MINISTER WILL SMITH CHAPEL GEO HALL THO HILL WARDENS GEO SAMPLE HENRY PENNY SELBY MORTON ARCHIT." Above the door is a band and paired lancet bell openings, topped by a 19th-century saddleback roof.
The nave has four bays with paired lancets, while the chancel has three bays with lancets and a five-light east window featuring Geometric tracery. The gabled roof of the chancel has flat coping.
Inside, the church boasts a Victorian hammer-beam roof. The south window of the nave displays figures of St. George and St. Constance, designed in the style of Morris and Co. from 1902. The reredos features late 19th-century naturalistic carving.
