Description

The Church of St John the Evangelist, built around 1846 by R.C. Hussey, is a church located in Stoke Row. It features knapped flint with stone dressings and a Welsh slate roof, while the tower has wood shingles. The church is designed in the Early English lancet style and consists of a four-bay nave with a north tower. The entrance has a central double plank door with a two-centred arch and a hood-mould, accompanied by a triple lancet window above. Each bay is separated by stepped buttresses, and the tower, positioned to the left of the centre, has three stages. The first stage contains a plank door with a shouldered surround, the second stage features a lancet window with a clock face above it, and the octagonal third stage has louvred lancets on its principal faces topped by an octagonal pyramidal roof with a wind-vane. The east window consists of two lancets with a cartwheel tracery rose window above.

Inside, there is a reredos with a continuous hood-mould over six lancet arches, all adorned with slate panels painted with texts, except for the lancet windows on either side of the centre, which have early 20th-century stained glass, and the rose window above, which has 19th-century stained glass. The church also features a mid-19th-century quatrefoil arcade altar rail, mid-19th-century pews and pulpit, and a mid-19th-century stone font with an octagonal base and chamfered sides. The roof is constructed with coupled rafters and arch bracing.
