Description
The Church of St John is a parish church that likely dates from the 17th century, with later additions and alterations. It is constructed of wet-dashed rubble and features a graduated slate roof with stone copings and kneelers, along with a gabled bellcote at the west end. The church has a single-cell plan and includes a 20th-century gabled porch added to the west end, which has a plank inner door. The east window is probably from the 17th century, while the remaining windows appear to be later insertions from the 20th century. Inside, there are six original roof trusses and remnants of 17th and 18th-century wall paintings that were uncovered in 1934. These paintings include part of Queen Anne's coat-of-arms, text boards, and two oval memorials dated 1793. The original octagonal basin of the font is supported by a 19th-century pillar and plinth.
