Church Of St John De Sepulchre

The Church of St John de Sepulchre is a parish church dating from the 15th and 16th centuries. It is constructed of flint with stone and brick dressings, featuring a lead roof over the nave and a pin tile roof over the chancel. The church includes a west tower, nave, chancel, north and south transept chapels, a north porch, and a south vestry.

The tower is three stages high and has four stages of diagonal buttressing, with a stair turret located in the southeast corner. It features a four-light perpendicular west window with a two-centre arch, square sound holes with quatrefoil tracery, and two-light belfry windows with four-centre arches. The crenellated parapet is adorned with stone shield panels and early 20th-century corner pinnacles.

The nave has five bays, each with three-light perpendicular windows that have four-centre arches. The two-storeyed porch includes semi-octagonal attached shafts and a two-centre arch with spandrels at the outer doorway. A tall central statue niche with triangular pilasters and a crocketed finial is located at the first floor, flanked by cusped lancet windows with square heads. A frieze of five flushwork panels and one badly weathered stone shield separates the storeys.

The north and south chapels were built around 1536 and 1500, respectively, with the south chapel featuring brick quoins. The two-bay chancel, constructed in 1479, has two-light perpendicular windows and a slightly perpendicular east window with a two-centre arch. The stone wall-arches have four-centre arches with attached shafts that extend upwards to form corbels.
