Church Of St John The Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a church built between 1838 and 1840 by E. Sharpe for the Church Commissioners. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a slate roof. The building has a three-sided gallery plan, a west tower, and a small chancel. It consists of five bays with a projecting plinth, a sill band, and a coped parapet. Each bay contains two lancet windows with hoodmoulds, separated by slender weathered buttresses. There is a sixth bay next to the tower that accommodates gallery staircases, and the chancel has one bay. The church has raked gable parapets.

The four-stage tower includes a west door, setback weathered buttresses against octagonal corner piers that rise to form pinnacles, clock apertures on the third stage, three stepped lancets in the belfry, and a coped parapet. Inside, octagonal columns support both the galleries and the nave arcade. The interior features a panelled ceiling, a west organ, stained glass windows, and a bowl-shaped stone font.
