Description
The Church of Our Lady and St John the Baptist, along with the attached presbytery at number 75, is a Roman Catholic church built in 1823, featuring later additions and alterations. It is constructed of stuccoed brick with a concrete tile roof for the church and clay tiles for the presbytery, designed in the Moorish Gothic style and aligned from north-west to south-east.
The church has three and a half bays, separated by buttresses, each bay containing two pairs of pointed windows topped with curved triangular hoods. There are plain horizontal and toothed brick bands above and below the windows, as well as at the eaves. The plain gabled porch is located in the first bay from the west, while the 'Ritual West' front displays three pairs of pointed windows similar to those on the south side, beneath a castellated parapet adorned with two bands of narrow, pointed blank arcading. A 20th-century flat-roofed entrance porch is positioned at the front, and a catslide roof extends the full length of the church on the north side.
Inside, the notable features include the original plastered and painted ceiling and the western gallery, with all other fittings and furnishings dating from the late 20th century. The presbytery, attached to the north-west of the church, is two storeys tall with three windows on the south side, the central one being blind, and features a floor band with an entrance at the rear. The overall appearance of the complex is somewhat unusual, evoking a style reminiscent of North Africa or southern Spain, which is not commonly found in north-west Staffordshire.
