Church Of St John

The Church of St John is a church built between 1840 and 1842, designed as a copy of Stanwix Church in Carlisle. It is constructed from snecked ashlar yellow sandstone sourced from Chalk Quarry in Dalston, and features a slate roof. The church has a three-storey east tower and a four-bay nave-chancel. The tower includes a pointed entrance arch with a hood mould, similar windows in the bell chamber featuring Y-tracery and louvred slats, diagonal buttresses at the angles with corner pinnacles, and a corbelled and castellated parapet. Above the entrance is a clock dating from 1901. The nave has pointed arch windows with hood moulds, diagonal buttresses at the angles, corner pinnacles, and a cross as a gable pinnacle.

The interior was renovated in 1901 by C.J. Ferguson and includes pine pews, a carved oak pulpit and lectern, and a pitch-pine panelled ceiling. The floor is made of red cement, while the chancel floor is decorated with black and white marble. The font is made of carved Caen stone, supported by red marble pillars added in 1898. The windows feature a Moorish pattern and are made of plain leaded glass by Cleator & Sons of London, installed in 1897. The site is not ancient.
