St John’s church was built over a relatively short period
from 1868 to 1870 with the consequence that there is a great
uniformity of style. The style is decorated Gothic, typical of the
14th century, executed with a dignified restraint which fully
justifies its Grade II* listing. The present church is believed to
have been preceded by one built by the Knights Templar in the 12th
century. Nothing of this church remains nor of the Georgian Church
which was the result of a rebuilding incorporating the medieval
tower completed in 1790.
