Church of St John the Baptist, Main Street, South Croxton - Charnwood
Ironstone rubble church, with ashlar dressings throughout, dating mostly from C14. West tower with spire of large and squared rubble, three stages and buttressed, on an ashlar plinth. The tower masonry is weathered with some unstable high-level stonework. There are signs internally that the nave roof and tower are leaking. The rainwater goods require overhauling and possible upgrading. The below ground drainage may also be poor. Repairs to tower louvres and floors completed in 2022 through grant support from Historic England's Covid 19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund.
