Church of St John the Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a church built between 1858 and 1859 by David Brandon, designed in the Early English Gothic style. It is constructed of rough-cut ashlar stone with smooth stone dressings and has Westmoreland slate roofs. A southeast chapel was added in 1930 for the Nall-Cain family by F E Howard, designed in a Perpendicular style.

The nave features trefoil-headed single lancets with hood moulds, stepped buttresses, and a continuous moulded sill course. There is a parapeted gabled south porch. The west tower is two stages high, with clasp buttresses, a 2-light plate-tracery belfry opening, and a quatrefoil parapet. The large five-light east window has intersecting geometric style tracery. The southeast chapel includes three 4-centred arch windows with cusped tracery and moulded, stepped buttresses, along with a moulded plinth and crenellated parapet. The west door has a crocketed ogeed arch and is topped by an elaborate 2-light window.

Inside, the church features naturalistic leaf capitals and stained glass in the east window by Clayton and Bell from 1874. There is a carved wooden altar frontal dated 1605 and rich lierne vaulting in the chapel. A canopied tomb in the lush perpendicular style is dedicated to Florence Nall-Cain, who died in 1927. The altar reredos is intricately carved in wood and alabaster.
