•The church of St John the Baptist consists of a chancel with vestry and organ chamber on the north, a nave, north aisle with northern annex, south aisle and south porch. The walls are of rubble with stone dressings, and the roofs are covered with stone slates. •The church, and that that was formerly at Sibson, are both mentioned in the Domesday survey of 1086, but apparently the church was rebuilt in stone as a chancel and aisleless nave in the middle of the 12th century, and the nave of this period remains. In about 1180 a north aisle was added. In 1240 the chancel was rebuilt on a larger scale with its axis further to the south, and some 20 years later a south aisle was added to the nave. A west tower was also added, probably in the 15th century. •In 1848-49, the west tower was pulled down, the two aisles rebuilt and the vestry, organ chamber and porch built. At the same time, a timber bell-cote was added to the nave roof “If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats page found via the Bookmark list”
