Description
The Church of St John is a Chapel of Ease built between 1833 and 1834, with the chancel added by J. Beardmore in 1901. It is constructed from coursed dressed and squared stone, topped with a slate roof featuring verge parapets and a chamfered eaves band. The church includes a west tower, a combined nave and aisles, and a chancel.
The tower has three stages with canted angle buttresses, a crenellated parapet, and bell chamber openings with labelled pointed Y-tracery. The only entrance to the church is a pointed door on the west side. The nave and aisles consist of five bays, separated by two-stage buttresses, and feature a string course beneath the labelled pointed Y-tracery windows. The chancel is lower and has two bays divided by two-stage buttresses, with a three-light pointed window on the east and high-level windows on both sides of the eastern bay, which are square-headed with two trefoil lights.
Inside, the church has arcades of five bays supported by octagonal columns and pointed arches.
