Church of St John the Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a parish church that features elements from the 13th century, incorporated into the rebuilding of the nave and the restoration of the chancel by Ainslie and Blashill in 1862. The west tower, which is also from the 13th century, has a top stage likely added in 1466. The church is built from coursed and squared sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has tiled roofs.

The structure includes a west tower, a nave with a south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry. The west tower consists of three stages, featuring a moulded plinth, an embattled parapet, and clasped buttressing. There are traces of a row of corbels from a former parapet below the later top stage, and the south side has single trefoil-headed lights. The nave has four bays, with a 2-light traceried window to the left and two similar windows to the right of the gabled porch, which incorporates 13th-century timbers with dogtooth ornament in the roof. The inner south doorway dates from around 1200 and has two orders, with the inner being moulded and the outer chamfered, springing from crocket capitals and supported by 19th-century shafts. The chancel has two bays, largely from the 19th century, with two 2-light traceried windows. Inside, there is a 13th-century font with a scalloped circular bowl.
