St John the Evangelist stands in the centre of the village on the left side of the B1057, if travelling south. The church is surrounded by a brick wall and iron gates. The latter lead to a small churchyard and the main entrance. As the building is largely obscured by trees and close to the main road, a good clear view is difficult.
The church was erected in 1840 in red brick with white brick dressings. There is a lancet style porch with angle turretts which were originally pinnacled. In 1910 the bell turret was replaced with a bell tower inside the west wall and the east end was extended to provide an enlarged chancel, vestry and sacristy. A framed inscription on the wall at the back of the church mentions the church enalagement to cater for more 'sittings' many of which were deemed 'free'. A much more recent addition to the church is a small kitchen and a toilet.
Below is the east stained glass window by Holiday (1911). According to Pevsner it's not one of his best.
If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication
