Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a parish church that dates back to the 14th century, incorporating some masonry from the 12th century, and underwent significant restoration in the 19th century. It is constructed from coursed rubble stone and features lead roofs and coped gables.

The west tower is two stages high, with diagonal buttresses, a plain parapet, paired cusped lancets in the bell chamber, and a decorated single light window to the west. The nave has a clerestory with three 19th-century cusped circular windows set in square surrounds. The north aisle contains decorated windows, including a two-light window to the north and west, and a three-light window with flowing tracery to the east. The north wall has a blocked door featuring a moulded two-centred arch, a hoodmould, and carved head stops, while the east wall has fragments of decorative 12th-century masonry. The south aisle mirrors the north with similar windows and features a door with moulded arch and jambs, worn carved heads on the label, and a 19th-century porch.

The chancel has two bays of decorated two-light windows, with the western ones being lower, and a large three-light east window with flowing tracery. There is a narrow moulded doorway to the north.

Inside, the nave consists of three bays with a double chamfered arcade supported by octagonal piers with moulded caps. The tower arch and chancel arch are similarly designed and rest on carved corbels. There are cusped piscinas to the left of the chancel arch and another in the chapel of the south aisle. The chancel features a piscina and double sedilia with cusped ogee arches, crockets, finials, and carved heads. The chancel roof retains its original moulded tie beams. Additionally, there is an octagonal 15th-century font and a 17th-century altar table, with other fittings from the 19th century.
