Church Of St John Baptist

The Church of St John Baptist is an Anglican parish church with origins dating back to the early 13th century, featuring additions from the 14th and 15th centuries. It was restored in 1883, as indicated by the date on the rainwater heads. The church is constructed from squared and coursed rubble, with dressed stone quoins, ashlar window surrounds, and stone slate roofs. It comprises a nave, chancel, north aisle, north porch, and a bellcote.

On the south side of the nave, there is a 19th-century three-light window in the Perpendicular style with a flat head and hoodmould, along with a blocked pointed-arched doorway. The west window is a two-light design in early Perpendicular style, while the east window to the chancel is a two-light in the Decorated style. The north aisle features a mix of 19th-century Tudor-arched two-cusped-light windows and three-light Perpendicular style windows under flat heads. The north porch has a Tudor-arched entrance and a similar arch for the doorway, which has a plank door. The bellcote is weatherboarded with a pyramidal stone slate roof and a weathercock. A sundial is located on the east gable apex of the north aisle, and a crucifix is positioned on the gable apex of the chancel.

Inside, the church has an early 13th-century four-bay nave arcade leading to the north aisle, with circular piers, circular abaci, and round-headed arches featuring faces in the spandrels. The nave has a coved, matchboarded roof, while the later 13th-century chancel arch has a pointed head. There is a trefoil-headed squint on the north side of the chancel arch. The chancel has an early English south window set in a deep reveal with a roll moulding and seat, along with a trefoil-headed piscina on the south wall and a plaster barrel vault. The north aisle roof is also coved matchboard.

Fittings in the nave include a Jacobean pulpit and two prayer boards on the west wall. The north aisle features a Perpendicular font with an octagonal bowl on a pillar adorned with quatrefoil panels, and a prayer board on the north wall. In the chancel, there are three 17th-century wall tablets on the south wall and a restored reading desk with inset Jacobean panels dated 1641.
