Chapel Of Ease Of St John The Evangelist

The Chapel of Ease of St John the Evangelist is a chapel built in 1850 by Reverend William Wilson, who was the Vicar of Banbury, for Reverend William Wilson (senior) of Over Morton House. It is constructed from coursed squared marlstone with ashlar dressings and features plain-tile roofs. The building is designed in an Early English style and consists of a combined nave and chancel, a south porch, and a schoolroom on the north side.

The chapel has a three-bay nave and chancel, characterized by chamfered lancets with hood moulds, some arranged in pairs. The east window features a triplet of graduated lancets, while the west gable wall has a pair of tall lancets flanking a wide stepped buttress that supports a gabled bellcote. The south porch includes a continuously-moulded arch and a gable parapet topped with an apex cross and moulded projecting kneelers. The schoolroom, which replaces a north aisle, has similar lancets and a shouldered doorway. The steep-pitched roofs rise from ashlar eaves coves.

Inside, there is a continuously-moulded two-bay arcade leading to the schoolroom, painted decoration on the chancel roof, and a 12th-century font from Over Morton Church that is incised with chevrons. The chapel also contains 19th-century fittings.
