Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a parish church built between 1873 and 1883 by architects Newman and Billing. It is constructed from rock-faced random coursed sandstone and features tiled roofs with verge parapets. The church is designed in the Early English style and includes a west steeple, nave, apse, and north aisle.

The steeple consists of three stages with clasping buttresses and is set into the tower at the bell chamber level, which has corbelled eaves, a broach spire, and lucarnes. The bell chamber has pointed, paired openings, and above the pointed west door is a triple, pointed west window. An octagonal stair turret is integrated into the southeast angle of the nave, which has corbelled eaves and three bays of paired, pointed windows separated by two-stage buttresses.

The apse is only slightly lower than the nave and features two short bays on the sides and a three-sided east end, all adorned with trefoil-headed lancets. The east window under the gablet has two lights. The aisle has pent, paired pointed windows, and a vestry is positioned against the tower.
