Description
The Church of St John the Evangelist, located on Marple Road in the parish of Charlesworth, was built between 1848 and 1849 by architect Joseph Mitchell. It is constructed from coursed squared gritstone with gritstone dressings and features slate roofs with stone coped gables. The church has a cruciform layout, consisting of a nave, a lower apse chancel, a south transept, and a north tower. There is a north porch and a vestry situated on the south side of the chancel. The design is in the pre-archaeological lancet style, rather than Early English, characterized by pairs of lancet windows and stepped triplet windows. The buttresses have two set-offs between each pair of windows. The tower includes angle buttresses and a polygonal stair turret on the northeast side, but lacks battlements. Notably, the tripartite west window contains stained glass.
