Church of St John The Baptist.

The Church of St John the Baptist is a largely Perpendicular Gothic style building with elements dating from the 17th century onwards. The older sections are constructed from blue lias stone with dressings of Dundry stone, while Victorian extensions and refacing use Swelldon stone with Bath stone dressings.

The church comprises a five-bay nave, a chancel, a west tower (with a projecting porch), north and south aisles, a south porch, and a shallow north porch. The four-stage west tower features stepped diagonal buttresses. The ground floor stage is open on three sides and acts as a porch, featuring doorways with multi-moulded arches and rib vaulting. A five-light Perpendicular window is located above the entrance on the west side, above which is a tall window with pierced decorative panels and a Perpendicular two-light head. The bell stage has two-light windows with pierced stonework, and the tower is topped by an elaborate openwork arcaded and battlemented parapet with openwork corner pinnacles and small gargoyles.

The chancel has a clerestory and incorporates a polygonal turret in the angle with the north chapel. The east window is a five-light Perpendicular window. A south-west vestry stands behind the south side, featuring tall chimneys. The south side of the church has three and four-light square-headed windows with a frieze of flowers and animals above; a doorway is blocked in the angle with the aisles.

The nave features a Perpendicular arcade with lozenge-shaped piers and two-centred arches. Lower arcades are present to the Victorian outer aisles. A high and wide chancel arch leads to a four-bay chancel with its own clerestory; the chancel roof is supported by Victorian carved corbels. The south chancel arcade contains circular shafts, believed to be from around 1300, while the north arcade is similar to that of the nave. A reredos by Kempson & Fowler, featuring sculpture by Goscombe John (1891), is present. To the north of the chancel is the Herbert chapel, containing a wooden screen (part 16th century, part 17th century) and the Herbert Monument (early 17th century) displaying effigies of a knight and a lawyer, along with a relief showing four cherubs. A reredos by Comper is in the south chapel, dating from the early 20th century. The tower arch provides access to stone steps that lead to a platform above the porch, where 19th-century iron railings are located.

The church retains a substantial amount of 19th-century stained glass, including windows in the north outer aisle designed by Morris & Co (apostles by Morris, Abraham and Noah by Ford Madox Brown, and Melchisedek by Burne-Jones). Other stained glass is by Dixon and Belham & Co, based on designs by J.P. Seddon. Several Neoclassical tablets have been relocated to the tower. A two-storey concrete vestry has been inserted into the south aisle.
