Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a parish church that dates back to the 12th century, with a south porch from the 13th century and a south aisle from the 14th century. It underwent alterations in the 15th and 16th centuries, and a mid-17th century tower was built into the west bay of the nave. The church was significantly restored in 1904. It is constructed of coursed rubble stone with ashlar quoins and a chamfered plinth. The west tower is timber-framed, clad in weatherboard, and topped with a pyramidal roof, while all roofs are tiled.

The nave features a restored 15th-century two-light cusped window with a hoodmould at the west end, two three-light traceried windows from 1904, a 1904 chimney on the north side, and a lancet window on the south side. The south door has a moulded arch and jambs, and there is a gabled porch with a restored 15th-century double chamfered arch, along with an earlier blocked light on the east side. The south aisle has a gabled roof and a moulded string below the eaves, with a restored two-light window featuring ogee tracery at the east end and a two-light cusped window with a hoodmould on the south side.

The chancel contains 16th to 17th-century windows, including a wide lancet window on the south side, two rectangular lights on the north side, and a small east window with two arched lights. Inside, the west bay of the nave has a 17th-century timber partition with narrow panelled screens flanking the arch to the tower, and two arches above leading to the gallery. The 19th-century roofs include two original moulded tie beams in the nave. There is an altered stoup and a short south arcade to the aisle with two double chamfered arches on octagonal piers, as well as a wide chancel arch of similar design. A cusped piscina is located in the south aisle. Notable fittings include a medieval south door, a font with a 12th-century circular basin on a later octagonal base and a fine cover from 1631, early 17th-century arcaded altar rails, and other fittings from the 19th century.
