Description
The Chapel of St John is a small chapel built between 1856 and 1857. It is constructed of granite rubble with randomly coursed stonework, featuring ashlar dressings and a plain tiled roof. The chapel has coped gables, a cross finial at the east end, and a bell cote at the west. It includes two lancet windows with cusped trefoiled heads and polychrome voussoirs. The west door is adorned with a hood-mould that has foliate capitals, and there is a three-light window on the east side. Inside, the walls are decorated with a red sandstone band and polychrome voussoirs around the windows.
The cornerstone for the chapel was laid on 21 October 1856, and it was consecrated on 27 August 1857, as reported by the Leicester Journal. It is believed that Sir George Howland Beaumont of Coleorton Hall and his steward Peter Heward were responsible for the chapel's design.
