Description
The Church of St John the Baptist is a parish church built in 1875, designed in an Early English style. It features an aisleless nave and chancel, with a vestry on the north side and a tower on the south side, along with a south porch. The walls are made of polygonal malmstone, accented with Bath stone dressings. Architectural details include impost and cill bands, hoodmoulds, a plinth, stepped buttresses, and lancet windows, with traceried lights at the east end and south side of the nave. The tower is characterized by shallow buttresses, an octagonal stair turret, traceried openings at the bell stage, and a broach spire. The interior is plain, containing Victorian fittings and a 20th-century sculpture of a mother and child on a bracket above the font.
