Description

The Church of St John is a parish church built in 1841 by William Ranger, with the east end remodeled in 1875 by J Drayton Wyatt. It is constructed of white brick, with red brick used for the interior of the high entrance porch at the base of the tower. Designed in the Early English style, the church features a nave and chancel, north and south aisles, and a west tower topped by a high octagonal brick spire.

The exterior of the tower consists of two stepped stages, both adorned with steeply pointed turrets and flying buttresses. The entrance porch, located in the lowest stage, has three high pointed-arched openings and a recessed doorway. The clerestory of the nave includes three stepped lancet windows for each bay, while the north and south aisles are marked by stepped buttresses and feature two pointed windows in each bay.

Inside, the nave and chancel are continuous, with arcades spanning seven bays supported by slender columns and a vaulted timber roof. There is a blank arcade at the east end along with three lancet windows. An ornate marble font, which has a cover in Jacobean style, adds to the interior's decorative features.
