Church Of St John

The Church of St John is a church built between 1832 and 1833 by H. Edwards, with an interior remodelled in 1892. It is constructed of stucco with stone dressings and features a stone facade. The facade includes a Doric entablature and a panelled parapet, with angle pilasters and a tetrastyle Doric portico. The windows have architraves with jambs that slope inwards, friezes, and consoled pediments, and they are fitted with small-paned glazing. The entrance is framed by an architrave, frieze, and consoled pediment, and it has an overlight and paired two-panel doors. The sides of the church have seven bays, with windows similar to those on the facade but without consoles. The projecting stone western bays, which are actually the north side, feature paired flat pilasters flanking the entrances. The rear of the church has a projecting pedimented chancel and low projecting bays on either side. The chancel contains a blind tripartite window with pilasters and an entablature adorned with wreaths.

Inside, the church is plain, featuring an elliptical chancel arch. Late 19th-century partitions create an organ chamber and a lady chapel flanking the choir in front of the arch. The sanctuary has a tripartite reredos that matches the exterior, complete with a painting and stencilling above. The nave displays paintings of apostles applied to the walls. An elliptical alabaster font rests on three marble steps and features angel supporters, cherubs' heads, and a gadroon edge. A 20th-century wooden font cover, made in Africa, includes a panel from the lady chapel reredos. The square timber pulpit is originally part of a two-decker pulpit. The vestry contains original cupboards with angle pilasters and entablatures.
