St John The Baptist
Church of England
The church dates again to C12 and was allegedly started in response to Pagan worship on the close by White Horse Hill.
Unusually, its interior was remaining mostly untouched by the Victorians, and as a final result it features rare C14 wall paintings depicting Peter, Paul, Herod and Salomé (with the Baptist’s head on a platter), wonderful medieval stained glass, and outstanding C15 to C17 woodwork, such as high-quality bench finishes, panelling, pulpit and rood display.
Regrettably, irrespective of this treasure trove of heritage the church fell into this sort of a lousy point out of repair service that it was put on the English Heritage ‘At Risk’ Sign up, and even faced imminent closure.
The good thing is the neighborhood community rallied all around to conserve their wonderful neighborhood landmark and a restoration job will start off in the summer season of 2015.
St John The Baptist is Quality II* Stated.
