Church Of St John The Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a Gothic Revival church built in the Early English style between 1866 and 1868 by T. H. and F. Healey of Bradford, with a tower added in 1876. It is constructed of hammer-dressed stone with ashlar dressings and features a pitched slate roof. The church has a 4-bay buttressed nave with a lean-to south aisle and a 2-bay chancel that includes squat buttresses with offsets. There is a lean-to vestry and organ chamber on the south wall of the chancel.

The large southwest tower is three tiers high and includes a south doorway, paired tiny lights, and a clock face on the second tier. The bell chamber openings are paired and louvred, with a central colonnette. The tower is topped with a crenellated parapet and mock machicolation. The east window is a 4-light design with plate tracery, featuring two trefoils and one cinquefoil in the head. The chancel sides have 8-foiled windows, while the nave and aisle windows consist of 2, 3, and 4 lights, most with plate tracery, including several with trefoils, one with a quatrefoil, and one with a cinquefoil. The west wall has two lancets with a 6-foil in the apex.

Inside, there is a 4-bay south arcade with massive arches on squat, seemingly undersized columns. The chancel is panelled in oak and features a reredos, a well-carved oak chancel screen, and a carved stone font. Recent alterations include partitioning at the west end of the nave. The roof is supported by arched braced hammer-beam trusses with turned king posts. The tower previously had a squat, square, slated spire.
