Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a parish church that was completely rebuilt in 1871 according to the designs of the late Mr. Langley. The tower was finished in 1914. It is constructed from coursed ironstone rubble and features Collyweston slate roofs for the nave and chancel, as well as Welsh slate roofs for the aisles. The church is designed in the Decorated style.

The west tower is located at the end of the south aisle and consists of four stages, with angle buttresses, a battlemented parapet, and two-light traceried openings in the bell chamber. The second stage has a pair of louvred cusped lancets on each side, while the lowest stage features two-light traceried windows on the south and west sides. The north side includes a niche with a moulded corbel and canopy on the third stage, along with an arched door in a moulded surround with shafts.

The nave has a three-light traceried window and a cusped triangular window at the west end, along with a three-bay clerestory that contains two-light rectangular windows with ogee tracery. The aisles are adorned with moulded parapets, plinths, and sill strings, and they have three bays of two-light traceried windows that match those of the tower. The north aisle extends one bay to the east to create a vestry, which has a door at the east end. The chancel features one bay of similar two-light windows and a three-light traceried window at the east.

Inside, the church has three-bay nave arcades with double chamfered arches supported by octagonal piers, and a similar chancel arch. The roofs are arch-braced collar types, and the church contains contemporary fittings. There is stained glass from 1910 in the southwest window and from 1978 in the east window. No materials from the previous building appear to have been reused.
