Church of St John

The Church of St John is a church built between 1829 and 1832 by Daniel Stewart for the Church Commissioners. It underwent internal alterations in 1857 and was restored with a chancel added from 1887 to 1889 by Waddington & Sons of Burnley, with a vestry added in the 20th century. The church is constructed of sandstone ashlar and features a slate roof in a Gothick style.

The nave has an added chancel and vestry on the south side. The west facade is gabled and consists of three bays, featuring four polygonal buttresses that are finished as embattled turrets, along with a square bellcote at the apex topped with gableted sides and an ogival top with a crocketted pinnacle. There is a two-centred arched west doorway adorned with two orders of moulding, double doors featuring Gothick tracery, and a hoodmould with carved stops. Above the doorway is a blind three-light window, flanked by tall two-light blind windows in the outer bays.

The five-bay side walls are supported by buttresses and have tall two-centred arched two-light windows with deeply splayed reveals, tracery in the heads, hoodmoulds, and 20th-century glazing. The chancel includes corner turrets, coupled two-light windows on the sides, and a five-light east window. The interior has not been inspected, but it is noted to contain three-sided galleries that were inserted in 1857.
