Church Of St John The Evangelist

The Church of St John the Evangelist is a parish church that was previously a chapel of ease. The nave was built between 1822 and 1825 by J. Chadley, and the chancel was added in 1871 by J. P. Seddon. The church features flint construction with Denner Hill stone quoins and a chamfered plinth, along with chamfered brick window surrounds and cogged brick eaves. The roof was re-tiled in 1980. The building has a cruciform nave and a chancel with a canted east end and a small organ chamber to the north.

At the west end of the nave, there is a gabled porch with a rendered four-centred arch and a later brick chimney to the right. The north and south sides have three bays of rectangular three-light transomed windows, with the center bays projecting and featuring rendered Tudor hood-moulds over the windows and rendered crosses in the gables. There are blind panels with four-centred arches on the west sides of the projections, and the north projection has a blocked four-centred doorway to the east. A later 19th-century bell-cote is situated between the nave and chancel, along with a buttress on the south side.

The chancel has a flush brick band course, two-light traceried stone windows, and an arched door to the south. Inside, the nave is plastered and colourwashed, featuring wide four-centred arches to the central projections. The roof has slender hammer beam trusses with central four-centred arches and turned pendants. There is a west gallery with a panelled front supported on cast iron quatrefoil shafts. The central north window contains armorial glass commemorating the original donors. The chancel is lined with yellow brick and has patterned red brick dressings and diapers, a steeply pointed chancel arch, and another arch leading to the organ chamber. The chancel also features a painted wooden vault and stained glass from 1905.
