St John's Church is a redundant Anglican church in Newchurch Road, Cloughfold, Rawtenstall, Lancashire, England. It is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade II listed building.[1]
History
The church was built in 1889–90 to a design by the Lancaster architects Paley, Austin and Paley. It cost £5,000 (equivalent to £450,000 in 2021),[2] and provided seating for 500 people. The commission resulted from a competition assessed by Ewan Christian.[3][4] The church was declared redundant on 1 May 1976,[5] and has since been used as a warehouse.[1][6][7] Its rood screen was removed to St Nicholas' Church, Newchurch.[1]
Architecture
St John's is constructed in sandstone with a slate roof. Its architectural style is Arts and Crafts Perpendicular. The church stands on a north-south axis, and its plan consists of a nave with low aisles, a chancel, a porch, and double transepts.[1] At the southwest is the base of an intended tower incorporating a porch, which rises to a height of only 10 feet (3 m).[6] It contains diagonal buttresses, a doorway above which is blind arcading, and a pyramidal roof.[1]
