Description

The Church of St John is an early 17th-century building with a buttress dated 1730 and restoration work completed in 1795. A bell turret, chancel, and vestry were added around 1885. The church is constructed from buff sandstone ashlar and features a Welsh slate roof. It has a three-bay nave, a one-bay chancel, a side chapel, and a south porch. The porch has a gabled roof and a semi-circular headed entrance with a chamfered segmental doorcase. The nave is divided by buttresses and has two or four-light mullioned windows with arch-headed lights. The east window contains three round-headed lights, with the central light being taller and set under a semi-circular label mould. There is a simple west window featuring Y-tracery. An inscription below the west window reads, "In the Year 1795 this chapel was put in perfect repair by the Revd. John Price the then Incumbent thereof." The bell turret has a pyramidal roof and is situated on the ridge of the building. Inside, the church is simple with 19th-century fittings, a rebated chancel arch leading to a raised chancel, roof trusses supported on stone corbels, and a good small organ dating from around 1820.
