Church Of St John Evangelist

The Church of St John Evangelist, built in 1884 by Ross of Accrington, features a tower added in 1911. It is constructed of rock-faced sandstone with a slate roof. The church includes a west tower with a west chapel, a nave, a lower chancel with a three-sided apsidal east end, a north lean-to organ chamber and vestry, a gabled projection on the south, and a south porch. The nave has five bays on the north side and four on the south, with paired chamfered lancets. The porch is timber-framed above a stone base. The tower, offset to the south against the west wall, has angle buttresses that end in gablets supporting a stone spire. The bell openings consist of two trefoiled lights with a trefoil under a pointed head, similar to the west window. To the north of the tower, there is a single-storey lean-to chapel with three windows, each containing one trefoiled light. Inside, the nave features scissor-braced trusses. At the west end, two moulded pointed arches with octagonal columns and semi-octagonal responds lead into the chapel, while a smaller arch to the south opens into the lower stage of the tower. The chancel arch is pointed and chamfered in two orders.
