Description
The Church of St John is a Grade II listed building, constructed in 1868 by C.J. Ferguson. It is not located on an ancient site. The church is built from hammer-dressed red sandstone, resting on a chamfered plinth, and features a string course and buttresses. The roof is made of graduated green slate with decorative ridge tiles, and a small broach spire is covered with hung shaped green slates.
Architecturally, the church is designed in a 13th-century style, consisting of a three-bay nave, a single-bay apsidal chancel, and a north vestry. The south entrance features a plank door surrounded by engaged columns and a pointed head. Both the nave and chancel have lancet windows with chamfered surrounds, trefoil heads, and pointed hood moulds, while the west window has three lancets with plate tracery.
Inside, the church boasts a braced timber roof, early 20th-century pews, and fittings. The east window contains five lancets filled with non-figurative stained glass. Additionally, there is a wooden pulpit on a stone plinth and a carved wooden communion rail.
