Church Of St John The Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist is a church dating from the 13th century that was remodeled in 1871 by C.E. Giles. It is constructed of red sandstone rubble masonry with Ham stone dressings, and features a rendered lower stage on the tower, along with tiled roofs that have ridge tiles. The church has a three-bay nave with a north aisle and vestry, a south porch, and a west tower with a rood stair turret on the south side.

The two-stage 13th-century tower has a crenellated parapet and angled buttresses, a small lancet window on the south side, and a two-light plate tracery window on the west side, which is a late 19th-century addition. The south and east windows also date from this period, with the east window featuring a small inserted rose window. There are two-light windows in the vestry and at the west end of the aisle.

Inside, the church has a rendered interior with a three-bay arcade supported by 13th-century octagonal piers and moulded capitals, one of which has been renewed. The double chamfered arches lead to a round font on a pedestal. The altar rails consist of a low stone screen, similar to the pulpit and other fittings from around 1871. The backs of two end pews incorporate 15th-century carvings from earlier pews. The east window was designed by C.E. Kempe in 1911.
