Church of St John the Evangelist (Church of England)

The Church of St John the Evangelist, a Church of England building, was constructed in 1846 by Anthony Salvin for Dame Louisa Giles Puller of Youngsbury. A tower was added in 1906. The church is built of ragstone with freestone limestone dressing and features an ashlar battlemented tower parapet. It has a steep slate roof that transitions into a flatter pitched catslide over the north aisle, topped with a small copper spike on the tower.

In the Decorated style, the church includes a square-ended chancel, a wider nave with a four-bay arcade leading to the north aisle, a gabled south porch, a northeast gabled vestry, and a southeast three-stage tower with a clock. The structure is supported by diagonal corner buttresses, gable parapets, and apex crosses. The aisle features single-light pointed and cusped windows, while the south wall of the nave has two 2-light windows and one single-light window. The east window is a four-light design, and there are similar three-light windows on the west side.

Inside, the church has an austere appearance with arch-braced open roofs resting on stone corbels. The arcade features equilateral arches in two chamfered orders supported by octagonal piers with 14th-century moulded caps and bases. A notable feature is the unusual octagonal stone font, which has a deep band of cusped panel work around the bowl. The stained glass includes an east window from 1876, an early work by Kempe, and a west window from around 1893 by Selwyn Image, depicting Christ with Mary and John, which is considered extraordinary for its time according to Pevsner. Additionally, there is a pre-Raphaelite two-light southeast window in the nave from around 1893 by Helen Coombe (Mrs Roger Fry).
