Church of St. John
II
Parish church of 1839-1843. A contemporary newspaper article attributes the building to Thomas Johnson of Lichfield, though it has also been attributed to Scott and Moffat. Pale yellow chisel finished sandstone; tiled roofs on corbelled eaves with verge parapets. West steeple, nave and chancel. Steeple: a square tower of approximately three stages on a plinth with two stage diagonal buttresses is chamfered in at the last stage to form an octagonal base for the short spire; single stage of small lucarnes and a small slit trefoil-headed window over the pointed west door. Nave: of four bays on plinth and divided by two stage buttresses; two-light, square-headed trefoil-light windows to each bay. Chancel: lower than nave of similar details and of one short bay; three-light, labelled pointed, Perpendicular-style window with panel tracery.
Interior: plain-finished, plastered nave; single hammer beam and arch braced roof with double purlins and exposed rafters. Narrow, pointed chancel arch. Reading desk: fretted brasswork. Font: stone, octagonal, on stand. The church is skilfully set at the top of a rise making an attractive and prominent feature. B.O.E., p.291.
