Description

The Church of St John is a chapel of ease built in 1859-61, designed by G.E. Street. Constructed from rough-faced, random coursed Hollington sandstone, it features steeply pitched tiled roofs with a crested ridge, verge parapets, and a bellcote to the west end. The church comprises a nave, a north porch, and an apse.

The nave has low walls with diagonal buttresses at the corners and a string course at window sill level. A large, three-stage buttress runs along the west face to the bellcote. The nave's east side features trefoil-headed lancet windows, while the west side, near the north porch, has quatrefoil windows. The north porch has very low eaves, which are lower on the west side than the east, and a pointed arch entrance. The apse is similarly roofed but has higher eaves than the nave. It has two-light, plate tracery, trefoil-headed windows with quatrefoils above, on its sides. The three-light east window is similarly designed, with a gablet above, and is integrated into the curve of the apse.
