Church Of St John The Divine

The Church of St John the Divine is a church built between 1864 and 1868 by Alfred Waterhouse. It is constructed from coursed sandstone rubble and features a red tiled roof in the Gothic style. The church has a nave with double north and south transepts, a north porch, and a chancel with a north vestry, along with 20th-century additions at the west end.

The nave is buttressed and has six bays, with large 2-centred arched 3-light windows that have cusped lights and prominent unfoiled circular tracery. These windows are connected by a drip-band that runs around the buttresses, which are topped with square corner pinnacles. The west end features a very large 6-light window, although its lower part is now concealed by the additions. The gabled porch on the north side's first bay has a cusped opening under a 2-centred arch supported by paired shafts, with wrought-iron gates leading to a panelled screen and door just inside.

The transepts also have large 3-light windows similar to those in the nave, but with spherical triangles above the outer lights. Their roofs are adorned with bands of green fishscale slates and red cockscomb ridge tiles. The chancel includes a large rose window with circular tracery, a niche below it featuring the eagle emblem of the Evangelist, and a band of raised lettering. The porch to the north vestry has a moulded doorway with an inner lintel inscribed "LET THY PRIESTS BE CLOTHED WITH RIGHTEOUSNESS."

Inside, the church features yellow brick with some polychromatic patterning and a steep open roof. One of the south nave windows contains stained glass by Morris & Co., dating from 1897.
