Church of St John, North Road - Lancaster

Church built in 1755, with a tower by Thomas Harrison added in 1784. Nave with galleries to three sides and original box pews. Closed in 1983 and in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. Damaged by flooding in 2015. Structural movement at the east end has resulted in instability and cracks in the outer ashlar masonry and plaster. Gutter blockages have resulted in water ingress affecting the roof timbers and finishes. A Historic England and CCT funded project of roof, masonry and gutter repairs is due to commence in Summer 2024 and plans for reuse are being developed.
