Description

The Church of St John the Baptist is a Grade II listed church built between 1862 and 1863 by architects William Butterfield and Tuke of Bradford. It is constructed from dressed sandstone with sandstone ashlar dressings and features a stone slate roof. The church has a west bellcote, a three-bay nave, and a chancel. The gabled bellcote is located on a wide pilaster buttress at the west end and includes round-arched openings.

On the south side of the nave, there are pilaster angle buttresses and a round-arched doorway with two orders supported by paired columns with leaf capitals. The outer arch is chamfered, while the inner arch features reused 12th-century blank lobed moulding. The windows on the nave are round-arched with side shafts and leaf capitals, with the easternmost window consisting of paired recessed lights and a voluted centre shaft. A moulded impost band serves as a sill band. The windows on the north side mirror those on the south side.

The chancel has two windows with cusped lancets and a dwarf offset buttress to the east. It also features a moulded sill and eaves bands, along with one window of paired cusped lancets on the north side. The pointed east window consists of two cusped lights with quatrefoil tracery above a stepped-up sill band. The church has coped gables, and both the bellcote and chancel gables are topped with crosses.

Inside, there is a double-chamfered, stepped round chancel arch supported by corbels. The church contains a Norman tub font with a roll-moulded foot and an octagonal base, as well as wrought-iron lamp brackets and holders in the nave.
