Description

The Church of St John the Baptist is a 19th-century building constructed from thinly coursed red and grey sandstone rubble, topped with Welsh slate roofs. It features a nave, a separate chancel, a south porch, and a west bellcote. The masonry is largely hidden by plant growth.

The church has a 3-light window in the south wall of the nave, a 2-light window with a roundel above in the west gable, and a single light Norman type arched window in the north wall of the nave, as well as another in the chancel. The chancel has 2-light windows in its east and south walls. All windows, except for the single light ones, are Victorian and have plate tracery. The gabled porch includes quatrefoils in the flanking walls and features a pointed entrance arch. The bellcote on the west gable contains two bells and a quatrefoil in the gable above.

Access to the interior was not possible during the resurvey in April 1997. The rere-arches of the nave windows seem to be of Norman type. The nave has a Victorian arch braced collar beam roof with diagonal sarking and a quatrefoiled wallplate, while the chancel has a Victorian waggon roof. The church contains Victorian pews, and the font is believed to be Norman, although it was not seen during the resurvey.
