Church of St John the Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a late Perpendicular church that underwent extensive restoration in 1897 by the architectural firm Austin and Paley. It is constructed of sandstone rubble and features a stone slate roof. The church consists of a nave with a south aisle, a chancel under a continuous roof, a vestry, and a south porch.

The west wall showcases a three-light window with Perpendicular tracery beneath a pointed head, accompanied by a buttress with offsets. The west window of the aisle is a single trefoiled light. At the top of the gable, there is an ashlar bellcote with a cyma-moulded open segmental pediment, likely dating from the 1788 reconstruction, during which round-headed windows with plain stone surrounds were added, later removed by Austin and Paley.

The north nave wall features bays with cross windows that have trefoiled upper lights. The south aisle wall has four two-light windows with flat heads and trefoiled lights, with the two right-hand windows positioned closely together. The porch is buttressed and includes a coping with kneelers, along with a moulded doorway that has a pointed head and hood. In the east wall of the aisle, there is a window with two hollow-chamfered round-headed lights. The east window consists of four trefoiled lights under a pointed head with Perpendicular tracery, and the hood mould is re-used with worn head stops. Both gables are topped with copings and kneelers, with the eastern gable also featuring a finial.

Inside, the church has a four-bay arcade with round arches of two chamfered orders supported by octagonal piers with capitals. Some masons' marks can be seen on the arches, and the eastern capital displays rough carvings, including a dog chasing a hare and a slung horn. The roof is supported by queen-post trusses and wind-braced purlins. The eastern end of the church was rebuilt during the restoration and includes twin sedilia and a piscina.
