Church Of St John

The Church of St John is a parish church that was rebuilt in 1853 in the Early English style, having been enlarged in 1815. The tower was restored in 1897. The building is constructed from Lias random rubble with Ham stone dressings and has slate roofs with coped verges. It features a three-bay nave, transepts, a chancel, a west tower, and a south porch.

The three-stage crenellated tower has finials and set-back buttresses that rise to string courses. The west face includes a three-light trefoil bell opening, a trefoil-headed lancet, and a three-light west window above a moulded test door. There is a crenellated northeast stair turret and two-light windows flanking the gabled porch, which has a collar beam roof and moulded surrounds, along with 19th-century double doors. The transept has stepped buttresses and a three-light south window, while the chancel features a two-light south window and a three-light east window. The north front has a two-light window, and the vestry to the right has a three-light window above a roof door. The nave contains three two-light windows.

Inside, the church is ashlar faced and features a four-centred tower arch with a trefoil-headed panelled screen, a 19th-century chancel arch with unmoulded jambs and a moulded archivault, and arch-braced roofs supported by foliage corbels. The transepts have compartment ceilings. The fittings are from the mid-19th century, and the pulpit is accessed from a door in the west wall of the vestry. A memorial tablet in grey and white marble with a draped urn on the south wall of the tower commemorates Thomas Grey, who died in 1820 and funded the church's restoration in 1815. The altar table, said to date from 1635, appears to be late 19th century.
