History

The church was built in 1873–74 to a design by the Lancaster partnership of Paley and Austin.[3] It provided seating for about 150 people, and cost about £1,400 (equivalent to £131,000 in 2019).[4][5]

Architecture

St John's is constructed in coursed slate rubble with sandstone dressings. The roofs are slated, with tiles on the crest. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave and a chancel in one range, a north porch, and a south vestry. The chancel has an apsidal east end. At the west end of the church is a bellcote with a spirelet. All the windows are lancets, other than two square-headed windows in the vestry, and a rose window above two lancets at the west end. The porch consists of a wooden frame on stone bases, and it is gabled. The bellcote is wooden and hung with slates. Its spirelet is broached at the base, and contains small lucarnes.[2][3]

gollark: The HTML5 spec defines a specific algorithm for parsing stuff, but it's somewhat complex, you'd probably be okayish just assuming stuff will be compliant with standards and ignoring broken pages.
gollark: HTML is parseable, but the minefield of slightly incorrect HTML on websites less so.
