Description
The Church of St John is a church built around 1853, with its roof and south transept renewed around 1900 and the interior completed in 1902. It is constructed from hammer-dressed stone and features a Westmorland green-slate roof. The church has a cruciform layout, consisting of a nave, an apsidal chancel, transepts, and a south porch located at the base of the tower. It is designed in the Early English lancet style.
The south entrance front includes a three-bay nave with two-light windows supported by offset buttresses. The gabled transept has three lancets and a quatrefoil at the apex. The tower, which is set at an angle with the nave, features a western vice, a pointed-arched doorway with colonnettes, and a quatrefoil above. It also has a clock and an octagonal broach spire with lucarnes on the cardinal faces. The semi-octagonal chancel has a lower roof than the nave, which has a steeply-pitched roof with coped gables. A large west window consists of five lights.
Inside, the church is relatively plain, featuring a five-bay nave roof with collar trusses and five memorial windows.
