Description
The Church of St John the Baptist is a parish church built in 1890, designed by Sir Arthur Blomfield. It is constructed of red brick with ashlar dressings and features plain tile roofs with ashlar coped gables topped with cross finials. The building has brick dentilated eaves and a double chamfered brick plinth. It consists of a nave with aisles and a chancel, with a western bellcote and a baptistry at the west end.
The south entrance has a slightly projecting doorway with an ashlar coped gable and a triple plain pointed arched doorway that includes a hood mould and label stops. The south aisle features five pairs of double pointed arched lancets separated by pilaster buttresses. The clerestory has six round arched plain blind openings on each side, each containing three pointed lancets. The western gable is adorned with a bellcote that has a pair of pointed arched openings for bells, surmounted by an ashlar gable with ashlar coping.
On the eastern chancel wall, there is a single brick chamfered pointed arched surround containing five pointed lancets under a hood mould with label stops.
