Church of St John the Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist, built in 1902 with contributions from John Douglas, features an irregularly coursed tooled red sandstone structure with ashlar dressings and a Lakeland slate roof. The church includes a 4-bay nave and a taller 3-bay chancel, along with a south porch, vestry, and a 3-stage west tower completed later as a memorial to Douglas. The nave is designed in the Perpendicular style, while other elements display a decorated style. The gabled porch has a carved inscription above a 4-centred arched door. The nave contains pairs of 2-light rectangular windows with panel tracery and a continuous label mould. Between the nave and chancel, there is a triangular headed buttress featuring an angel. The chancel showcases a corbel table and a mix of simple 2 and 3-light 4-centred arched windows, including a niche with a figure of St John. The east window is a 5-light design with flamboyant but uncusped tracery, while the north side features a slightly different window pattern. The tower is supported by diagonal buttresses and has a plain 3-light west window, with five strip pilasters that rise to the top, forming cusped heads above louvred bell openings, and an embattled parapet. A door on the south side of the tower leads to a projecting stair turret that reaches the second stage.

Inside, the nave has a moulded cornice, and the pairs of windows are separated by a free-standing octagonal pier. Arch-braced collar trusses rest on heavy corbels. The tower arch frames an octagonal font and features a Della Robbia panel in the wall. The chancel includes an arcade of Perpendicular openings leading to the organ console, which is adorned with a carved and figured organ case, along with quaint 2-seat sedilia and an aumbry. The panelled roof over the sanctuary is decorated with foliage bosses.
