Church of Saint John the Evangelist

The Church of Saint John the Evangelist is an Anglican parish church built between 1846 and 1848, designed by James Park Harrison. It is constructed from grey squared limestone and features slate roofs, reflecting a 13th-century style inspired by Pembrokeshire examples. The church has a triple-gabled nave, aisles, a chancel, a southeast chapel, and a northeast vestry, with a tower located between the north aisle and the vestry. The gables are coped and topped with cross finials.

The chancel includes three lancet windows at the center of the east end, flanked by two-light windows with trefoils on each side, a single side light on the south, a small pointed door, and another two-light window. The south aisle features, from east to west, two single lights, one two-light window, a door within a gabled stone porch, and another single light. The west end has three gables, two lancets, and a roundel at the center, with a single lancet in each aisle. The north side of the nave has a gabled stone porch added in 1878 and three lancet windows. The tower is sheer with a northwest stair tower, corbelled flat parapets, and lancet bell-openings, along with iron clock faces from 1865. There is a pointed stair door and a lancet window above, with a single light and door in the vestry beyond.

Inside, the church has plastered walls and steep-pitched open roofs, with pointed grey stone chamfered arches forming five-bay arcades, as well as arches for the chancel and chancel sides. The chancel features an open rafter roof, sedilia on the south side, and fittings from 1878 by Wilson, Willcox and Wilson of Bath. These include an ornate iron screen on a low carved stone base, Gothic stalls and desks, and encaustic tile panelling on the east wall. The east window, created in 1898 by Herbert Davis, showcases rich colors. The southeast chapel was refitted as a War Memorial in 1919-20 by J Coates Carter, which included oak screens to the south aisle and chancel, sanctuary panelling, a carved oak reredos, and stained glass by C E Kempe and Co in the east window and a two-light window on the south. Additional windows by Kempe and Co can be found in the north and south aisles, mostly dating from 1919-20, with one two-light window featuring the C E Kempe emblem from before 1907, along with three single lights in the south aisle and two single lights in the north aisle. The church also contains a very ornate Bath stone pulpit on short shafts and a massive plain octagonal font, both from the 1878 refitting.
