1/18 Church of St John the
Evangelist
II
188O by T. Rushforth. In a mixed Romanesque and Gothic style. Hammer-dressed
stone, with sandstone dressings, slate roof. Nave and chancel roofed
continuously with lean-to aisles and south west porch under tower. The exterior
treatment is very simple with small round arched windows to aisles and
clerestorey. East window of 3 lancets, Tower of 3 tall stages with clasping
buttresses terminating in octagonal pinnacles. Short octagonal stone spire.
The treatment of the first 2 stages is Romanesque but the belfry windows are
Gothic of 2-lights. The inner and outer doorways of the porch are rich
Romanesque designs, the outer with chevron, the inner with beak-head ornament.
The doors have ornamental hinges.
Interior: Nave of 4 bays with moulded semi-circular arches springing from round
piers with attached colonnettes. Heavily moulded round chancel arch enriched
with dogtooth. Stone reredos of Gothic form carved with the Lord's Prayer, the
Creed, and the Ten Commandments. East window with scenes from the Life of
Christ. Open roof with arched-braced collars. The capitals throughout the
Church are skilfully carved with gripping beasts, foliage etc. Furnishings
include delicate wrought-iron screen, square font of blackstone (imitating
Tournai marble) on 4 colonnettes with waterleaf capitals. J. H. Marshall,
'A short history of the church in West Vale', (Elland 1903).
