Full Description
St John's Church was built in 1840 and restored 1903. (1)
The church at Hazelwood is dedicated to St John. It was erected in 1845, at a cost of about £2,000, which was raised by subscription. Soon afterwards, a district was allotted to it. It is a handsome edifice of stone in a Gothic style and is strongly buttressed. It comprises chancel, with organ chamber, nave, south porch, and a western bell turret containing two bells. The chancel is separated from the nave by a handsome moulded arch springing from three circular piers on either side. The nave is well furnished with low-backed pews of pitch-pine to seat 290. The pulpit is sculptured stone, and the lectern elaborately-carved oak, designed, made, and presented by Sir John Gay Newton Alleyne, Bart., 1893. The east window of three lights is filled with stained glass, as also are the windows of the nave, six of which are memorials. (2)
St John's Church was built in 1840 by Stevens and restored after a fire in 1902 by Naylor & Sale. The church has a stone nave and chancel, a bellcote and lancet windows. (3)
