Description
St John's Episcopal Church, located on Ladysmith Road in Eastriggs, was designed under the supervision of Raymond Unwin, possibly by Geoffrey Lucas, and is dated 1917. This church is built in the Arts and Crafts tradition and features a large, squat, pyramidal-roofed three-stage square tower. The exterior is made of snecked, red bullfaced ashlar and includes mostly round-headed openings, except for the aisles, which have some deeply splayed reveals and slit openings. The aisle windows are cusped-headed lights set in rectangular panels. The tower is situated at the east end of the south aisle and has openings on each level and face, with louvred vents at the top. It has set-offs below the eaves at the angles and features swept-roofed and louvred dormers. The main roof sweeps over the aisles between the tower and a gabled porch at the west end, which reaches the main eaves level. There are two recessed doors below a three-light window in the west gable, a gabled north transept, and a circular window on the east gable, positioned high above the datestone, both set within a tall, narrow, round-arched panel. The roofs are covered with slate.
Inside, the church features aisle arcades with semi-circular brick arches supported by paired circular red ashlar columns, which have flat cushion capitals. The interior also boasts a barrel-vaulted roof with some ornamental plasterwork, and there is a gallery at the west end above the baptistry.
