Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a redundant church dating from the late 12th century, with the east wall and roof rebuilt in the early 19th century and restored in the late 20th century. The church is constructed from rubble flint with a rendered finish and stone dressings, and features a rebuilt brick wall topped with an old plain tile roof. It is a single-cell church with a brick east wall that is slightly west of the original, featuring a pointed window that mimics the original design. Sloping brick buttresses are present at each end of the building.

The other walls are adorned with a stone roll mould string at sill level, which runs halfway up the walls. The south wall has a round-headed window to the west of the center, featuring a continuous chamfer and roll mould on the inside. There is a rebuilt pointed doorway to the west with a 20th-century door and a buttress at the corner. The north wall includes two similar windows on either side of the center, with a stone for the consecration cross located west of the center and a clasping buttress at the west end.

On the west wall, there is a similar window with a rectangular squint below it, and to the south, there is a consecration cross stone and a southwest buttress. Inside, the east wall is rendered and features a render imitation of a rear arch to the east window, along with a string course below and reset consecration cross stones on either side. The other walls show much repair to the roll mould string. At the east end of the north and south walls, half of the splays of the rear arches of the windows have been lost due to shortening. On the north wall, each side of the center and west of the south wall are wide splayed pointed rear arches with continuous roll moulding. There are possibly remains of a northwest window with a consecration cross stone below it. A reconstructed 20th-century round-headed doorway is found in the southwest, with a consecration cross stone above it. The west wall features a similar rear arch to the window with a squint below, which is not glazed. The church has been vested with the Redundant Churches Fund since 1971.
