Church of St John the Baptist, Wellington, Grade I listed medieval church in Wellington, England.
The Church of St John the Baptist features stone carvings, stained glass windows, and architectural elements representing medieval ecclesiastical construction techniques.
Built in 1401 on the site of a previous church dedicated to St Mary the Virgin, with the current tower construction completed around 1510.
The church contains the first epitaph written in English on the tomb of Richard of Wellington, marking a shift from traditional Latin inscriptions.
Regular services occur at 10:00 AM on Thursdays and 9:30 AM on Sundays, with additional Book of Common Prayer services on second Sundays.
The east window of the Lady chapel displays a rare Lily crucifix carving on its center mullion, an uncommon element in English Anglican churches.
