Description

The Church of St John, built in 1843 by Rawstone of Bradford, is a church constructed of coursed stone with a thin slate roof. It features a west tower, an aisled nave, a chancel, and an apse. The building has a plinth and round-headed lancet windows, along with round-arched blind arcading under the eaves. The tower is embattled and consists of four stages, with clasping pilasters that rise into octagonal corner turrets. Each stage has two round-arched panels and a round-arched band. The south doorway leads into the church, which has windows on the second stage, a clock on the third, and slatted belfry openings on the fourth. The nave has seven bays defined by strip pilasters, a cill band, and coping, topped with an orb finial. The one-bay chancel mirrors the nave but is lower and is flanked by aisles on either side of the apsidal central bay, which is designed like the nave.
