It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Knutsford, the archdeaconry of Macclesfield, and the diocese of Chester. Its benefice is combined with that of St John the Baptist, Knutsford.[1] The church is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[2]

History

The church was built between 1852 and 1855, and designed by William Gilbee Habershon.[3] It was paid for by Mrs Leycester of Toft Hall in memory of her husband.[4] Its chancel was intended for the use of the family, rather than for a choir.[3]

Architecture

St John's is constructed in rubble stone with ashlar dressings, and has a tiled roof. Its plan consists of a five-bay nave with a southwest porch, a north aisle, a chancel with a northeast vestry, and a southwest steeple. Inside the church the arcade between the nave and the aisle is carried on alternate circular and octagonal piers.[3] Mrs Leycester was French, and commissioned the French artist Antoine Lusson to design the stained glass in the east window and in the other windows in the chancel.[4] These are dated 1853, and consist of quatrefoil scenes.[3] To celebrate the 2000 millennium, more stained glass windows were commissioned for the windows in the north aisle.[4] The two manual pipe organ was built in 1888 by C. Whiteley, and repaired in 1929 by Jardine and Company.[5]
