Church of St John the Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a parish church comprising medieval and later elements, with a Bedingfeld chantry chapel founded in 1496. The church is constructed primarily of flint, with ashlar and some brick dressings. Ashlar facing is present on the chantry chapel. Lead roofs cover the building. It includes a north aisle with a porch, the base of a north wall of the west tower, a chancel with a north vestry and a chantry chapel to the south, and part of the south aisle wall (the remainder of which collapsed in 1948).

The north aisle features a three-light 14th-century west window with mouchettes. The porch has a moulded entrance and surviving moulded wall plates, with a doorway of two plain-chamfered orders with a hood mould. Five two-light panel-traceried north windows and a three-light east window, all in similar style, are also present. Six surviving two-light late Medieval clearstorey windows are found, along with three surviving two-light late Medieval windows on the south wall. The chancel contains two three-light panel-traceried north windows, a restored five-light panel-traceried east window, and a similar three-light south window, alongside a moulded priest's doorway. The chantry chapel has a partly blocked three-light panel-traceried east window and three 16th-century three-light windows without tracery, set beneath four-centred arches. The westernmost bay of the chantry chapel is in flint with a restored late Medieval window. There is a 15th-century sanctus bellcote with badly weathered blind tracery.

The interior features a six-bay north arcade with octagonal piers supporting plain-chamfered arches of two orders. The north aisle has a late Medieval roof with moulded principals and purlins and spandrel tracery. A section of the south arcade, one and a half bays, survives, blocked off towards the chantry chapel. The chancel contains a blocked 16th-century arcade, formerly opening into the chantry chapel, with four-centred arches and carved polygonal capitals. A late Medieval arch-braced roof is also present. The piscina cum sedilia are in clunch with miniature rib vaulting and carved decoration including blind tracery and a frieze of angels; there are surviving traces of original paint. The Bedingfeld Chantry Chapel retains its original arch-braced and roll-moulded roof with carved spandrels, along with three carved wall posts with seated figures beneath canopies. Also within the chapel are two celebrated early 16th-century terra cotta tombs, alongside three other marble monuments of high quality.
