Full Description
The church, dedicated to St John, was built by William Evans, Esq., in 1843, as a chapel-of-ease to Longford, but shortly afterwards the district allotted to it was constituted a separate ecclesiastical parish. The font inside St John's Church belonged to the ancient chapel of St Nicholas (see SMR 16304), and was found beneath the sward in Cockshut Croft, during some building operations, in 1844. (1)
A grade II listed Parish Church, which dates to 1843. It was built for Thomas W Evans. It is constructed of flint pebble walls, with stone dressings and a plinth, plus a timber-framed south porch.

There is also an octagonal stone bellcote to the west with leaded a spire. It comprises nave, lower chancel, north vestry and south porch, and is built in the Early English style. Inside the church is a large circular stone 12th century font near the south door. See list description for more details. (2)
