Architecture

Exterior

St John's is constructed in ashlar buff sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. Its plan consists of a three-bay nave, a one-bay chancel with a side chapel, and a south porch. The bays of the nave are divided by buttresses and they have two or four-light mullioned windows with arch-headed lights. The east window has three round-headed lights, the central one being taller. The west window is simple with Y-tracery. The bell turret is at the west end and has a pyramidal roof.^[1]

Interior

The interior has simple 19th-century fittings.^[1] The organ dates from about 1840. Its maker is unknown, and it was restored in 1984 by Whiteley.^[3]

External features

The churchyard contains the war graves of two soldiers of World War I.^[4]
