More information on St John the Baptist

Nancy Mitford once wrote: 'Our Bishop is so low church he thinks that singing hymns is idolatry so we sat while one was played.' If he attended a service here his face would match the purple of his cassock. It's so high church one might need a ladder to reach the front door if it were any higher. But it wasn't ever thus. Built in 1862 as a Chapel of Ease (ie where the servants worshipped) for the bigger parish church, St Mary's, this small church outgrew its congregation and so was later added to. The original church, as can clearly be seen, became the North Aisle. Visitors will find an abundance of stained glass, paintings, decorated organ pipes and music to a high standard.
