Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist was built in 1851 by Charles Vickers of London, in the Norman and Early English styles, at a cost of £2,000. It incorporates a Transitional north arcade from a previous medieval church. The church is constructed from coursed squared limestone with a plain-tile roof and comprises a chancel, vestry, nave, and north aisle.

The two-bay chancel features a three-light stepped lancet east window and paired lancets to either side, decorated with dog-tooth ornament and hood moulds. There is a single lancet window to the southwest with a hood mould and a priest's door to the south, having a Caernarvon-arched head with dog-tooth ornament. A chamfered plinth, moulded string course, corbel table, and buttresses mark the angles and the base of the east window. The adjoining vestry and stairwell to the pulpit, situated over a boiler house to the north side of the chancel, contains small chamfered lancet windows, a Caernarvon-arched basement-level door, a cornice with stiff-leaf decoration, and a lean-to slate roof, with a circular stone flue.

The nave has roll-moulded round-arched windows and pilaster buttresses on its south side. The south door, situated within a gabled projection, has two orders of shafts; the innermost shafts are decorated with toothed spiral moulding, scalloped capitals, and a round-arched head with chevron and beak-head ornament. Round-arched windows illuminate the west end, and a stone bellcote sits atop the west gable, featuring a pair of round-headed arches and a cross.

The north aisle mirrors the nave with similar windows. Buttresses mark the west angles and chamfered stone eaves define the nave and aisle.

Inside, the chancel has a three-bay stepped arcade leading to the pulpit stair, characterized by circular shafts, stiff-leaf capitals, and trefoiled double-chamfered arches. A many-moulded round-arched chancel arch displays a single order of shafts and corbels with elaborate stiff-leaf capitals. A stone pulpit is incorporated into the structure on the north side of the chancel arch and projects from the wall. The nave contains a four-bay arcade from the earlier medieval church, dating to the late 12th or early 13th century. This arcade features round piers with stylized foliage capitals; the pier furthest west features serpents with intertwined tails, while the two easternmost piers have carved heads. The round arches have dog-tooth decoration. The chancel boasts a scissor truss roof, while the nave has arch-braced collar trusses. A tub font with intersecting round-headed arcading is also present.
