Church Of St John

The Church of St John is a parish church that dates back to the 12th century, with the chancel being from this period and the rest of the church rebuilt in the late 19th century. The building is constructed of random coursed red sandstone and features steeply pitched roofs covered in handmade red tiles, with scalloped tiles used for banding and verge parapets. The layout includes a south porch, a nave without aisles, transepts, and a chancel.

The timber-framed gabled porch leads into a three-bay nave, which has lancet windows. The west window consists of two pointed lights with a rose window above it, and the west gable is topped with a bell cote. The lower transepts slightly project into the length of the nave and contain two-light windows in an early 14th-century style. The chancel, dating from the 12th century, is buttressed and features small rounded arch windows on the north and south sides, along with a round arch priest's door on the south. The east end has a three-light window with reticulated tracery from the 14th century.

Inside, there is a pointed arch leading to the chancel and depressed pointed arches to the transepts. The nave has a late 19th-century roof with corbelled arch braces and strutted king posts, while the chancel has trussed rafters of a similar date. Notable interior features include a scalloped piscina with floral ornamentation, corbels for effigies on the east wall of the chancel, a medieval mensa altar, a 17th-century Laudian communion rail, a late 19th-century octagonal stone font, and an octagonal timber box pulpit. The choir stall bench ends have simplified poppy heads. There is an oval slate plaque over the south door and a carved stone corbel depicting a 15th-century figure by the priest's door, which was noted at the time of re-survey. A pre-restoration drawing is also displayed within the church.
