Church Of St John

The Church of St John is a parish church that originated in the 12th century, with alterations made in the 13th century and a remodel in the 14th century when the chancel was built, although the chancel is now in ruins. The 15th-century west tower features diagonal buttresses supporting the ringing chamber. The tower is constructed of flint with ashlar dressings and has a slate roof. It consists of three stages, with a blocked west window made of brick, a string course between the ground and ringing chamber stages, and square traceried ventilation panels in the ringing chamber. The belfry is set back and has louvred windows, topped with a flushwork parapet. There is a polygonal stair tower on the southeast side.

The gabled south porch has diagonal buttresses and a roll-moulded outer arch within a square hood, with tracery in the spandrels. Above the arch is a frieze of shields set in diamond panels, and a statuary niche is located in the gable. The porch features 19th-century two-light side windows. The nave has three two-light south windows, with one buttress on the east side that has brick repairs, and flat eastern nave buttresses. The north side of the nave is mostly blank, except for an arched lancet to the west of a rendered buttress and a wave-moulded north doorway. The chancel arch is blocked and has a double chamfer with polygonal responds, while there is a priests' door on the south side.

Inside, there is a tall blocked tower arch that now has a low doorway. The 14th-century octagonal font sits on an ashlar plinth and a circular brick base, featuring ogeed stem panels and encircled quatrefoils in the bowl. A blocked north door is present, along with a simple 19th-century nave roof. The north wall contains a banner staff locker and the remains of a round-arched 12th-century window, which is also blocked. Additionally, there is a fine wall monument to Thomas Wodehouse from 1571, made of painted ashlar with an arcaded plinth. The tomb chest has recessed panels with alternately circular and diamond-shaped recesses, each displaying raised shields and emblems. Above the tomb chest is a depressed arch flanked by fluted and reeded Corinthian engaged columns, with an arcaded frieze and cornice, and a coffered soffit in the arch.
