Church of St John, Gateford Road, Worksop - Bassetlaw

Church, 1868, by RC Clarke & Son. Built in the Decorated Revival style. Large west tower and spire. Steeply pitched slate roofs over coursed walling stone with gable parapets. Stone erosion at high level. A steeplejack inspection in 2021 revealed a range of defects including some movement at an estimated cost of £170,000. Repairs to the spire were undertaken in 2021 and completed 2022. The church is keen to undertake further repairs and are engaging positively with the local community, heritage groups, and wider charities.
