Church Of St John The Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a church built between 1864 and 1870 by H. Macauley. It is constructed from rock-faced sandstone with ashlar dressings and features a steeply pitched slate roof adorned with bands of green fishscale slates. The church is designed in a free early Gothic style and includes a nave with one aisle, transepts, a chancel, and a south-east tower topped with a spire.

The entrance is located at the south end, featuring double doors with a tympanum that has a carved emblem of the Evangelist set under a banded two-centred arch. There are paired lancet windows on either side of the entrance, and above it is a large plate traceried three-light window flanked by single-light windows. The five-bay nave has a gabled porch on the west side and three cross gables on the east side of the aisle, with trefoils in these gables. Most of the windows consist of two cusped lancets.

The tower is unusual, consisting of three stages and featuring free-standing pinnacles on colonnettes beside the octagonal spire. Inside, there is a three-bay aisle arcade supported by columns with crocketed capitals, a chancel arch with corbelled shafts, and a gallery at the south end. The roofs are wagon-shaped, with a polygonal design in the chancel.
