Church of St Mary and St John

The Church of St Mary and St John is a Grade II listed building constructed between 1879 and 1881 by architect R H Carpenter for the Earl of Wharncliffe. It is built from coursed sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features a Westmorland slate roof.

The church consists of a nave with a west bellcote and a south porch, along with a chancel that includes a north vestry, arranged in four bays and two bays. The porch has a pointed-arched doorway with two chamfered orders that die into rounded responds, and above it is a gable with a trefoiled niche. The inner doorway is designed in a neo-Romanesque style, featuring one order with water-leaf capitals. The nave windows are paired lancets topped with a quatrefoil in plate tracery. The chancel has two trefoiled lights, a priest's doorway that matches the porch, and another trefoiled light. The building is adorned with copings and gable crosses, while the east window consists of three stepped lancets. The north side has single lights, and the west window features two trefoiled lights with a sexfoil above. The bellcote is also in a neo-Romanesque style, designed with two lights.

Inside, the church has an Early English-style chancel arch made up of two chamfered orders. The vestry screen dates from the 17th century and is panelled with a fluted frieze. There is a plaque in the vestry that records 18th-century grants from Queen Anne's Bounty. In the nave, there is a brass memorial for Alice Stuart, who died in 1788.
