Church of St John the Baptist with adjacent war memorial

The Church of St John the Baptist is a late 18th-century church with an adjacent war memorial, built in a simplified early Gothic style. The exterior is faced in local squared rubble stone, rendered on the tower, with ashlar dressings. The roof is of plain clay tiles. The church is laid out in a simple two-cell plan, comprising a nave and chancel, with a west tower, a south porch, and a north-east vestry.

The nave and chancel have steep-pitched gables topped with ornamental wrought-iron crosses. The south porch is ashlar faced, featuring a figure of St John in a niche above the archway. The saddle-backed west tower is rendered externally and incorporates lancet belfry openings and an octagonal stair turret. The lean-to vestry block to the north-east features shoulder-arched door and window surrounds, and a prominent chimney stack.

Inside, the walls are faced in fine red brick, with deep, unsplayed window reveals above a continuous stone sill. The tower and chancel arches are of unmoulded brick with simple stone mouldings to the imposts and extrados. The nave has a king-post roof with a wagon ceiling, while the chancel has a plastered and whitewashed interior with a ribbed keel-vaulted timber ceiling. The floors are laid with red and black quarry tiles.

The church contains oak pews and choir stalls with simply shaped ends; the front row of choir stalls and clergy stalls are later additions. The altar rails are of oak, with heavy-sectioned members pegged together. A massive square stone font rests on a squat octagonal base. The octagonal oak pulpit was given in 1919 in memory of the church founders, and the polychrome marble and mosaic reredos is likely an early 20th-century addition.

The three eastern lancets contain stained glass depicting the Crucifixion and Resurrection flanked by the Nativity and Entombment. The trefoils above depict the Raising of Lazarus and the Miracle of the Loaves and Fishes, featuring the infant Jesus and St John at the centre. This glass was given in 1881 by Captain Arthur Mirehouse in memory of his parents.

Adjacent to the church, to the right of the porch, stands the village war memorial: a plain Celtic cross on a battered plinth, inscribed with the names of those killed in the two World Wars.
