History

St John's was built between 1843 and 1846, and designed by Charles and James Trubshaw.[3]

Architecture

The church is constructed in yellow sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and has slate roofs. Its plan consists of a nave, a southwest porch, a chancel, and a northwest vestry. On the west gable is a single bellcote. The windows are lancets, some of which contain Y-tracery.[2] At the east end is a triple stepped lancet window.[3] At the corners of the church are angle buttresses.[2] Inside the church is a hammerbeam roof.[3]

gollark: It would probably work fine for most of my uses to just have a good *software* calculator, which could likely be made to have dedicated hardware later™ if somehow needed.
gollark: osmarkscalculator™ would of course be designed for modern™ systems' IO capabilities, and incorporate features™.
gollark: I have some random calculator app on my phone is fairly good and can do basic symbolic calculus, graphing, complex number operations, and probably other things, but not matrices.
