The building of St John the Evangelist, began in 1847 and was completed, including the spire, in 1848. Some new cottages were also built, mainly the brick cottages along the west side of the Main Road, but some of the older stone cottages were obviously improved by brick additions at about this time. The decade 1841 to 1851 saw the largest increase in the number of new churches than any other decade of the 19th century. There was a similar increase in the number of clergy. Even so the religious census of 1851 showed that only a minority of people attended a place of worship, especially in the urban areas, and of the minority attending only about half attended Church of England services. “If anybody would like to expand to this series please do, I would just ask that you could let Sadexploration know first at churchmicro@gmail.com so he can keep track of the Church numbers and names to avoid duplication. There is also a Church Micro Stats & Information page found via the Bookmark list”
