Church of St John the Evangelist, Cheetham Hill, Anglican church in Cheetham Hill, England
The Church of St John the Evangelist is an Anglican church in Cheetham Hill built from sandstone with a distinctive four-stage tower on the southwest corner and tiled roofs. The interior features different column styles between the north and south arcades and is decorated with stained glass windows and carved wooden details.
The church was completed in 1871 under architects Sharpe, Paley and Austin, funded by benefactor Lewis Loyd. Its construction reflected the Victorian-era expansion of religious buildings to serve the growing population moving into the area.
The church is dedicated to St John the Evangelist and houses wooden carvings of sunflowers and leaves on the pulpit, along with stained glass windows by C. E. Kempe showing saints. These artistic details reflect the values and religious life that the local community held when the building was created.
The church is a protected heritage building featuring Romanesque and Gothic Revival architecture visible both from outside and within. Visitors will find the interior best viewed during midday hours when light shows the artistic details to best advantage.
The north arcade displays piers with quatrefoil arrangements while the south arcade features octagonal columns, showing different architectural solutions within the same building. This variation is unusual and reveals the designers' experimental approach to shaping the interior space.
