St John the Evangelist's Church, Sandbach Heath, Gothic Revival church in Sandbach Heath, England
St John the Evangelist's Church is a Gothic Revival building in Sandbach Heath made from yellow stone quarried at Mow Cop with red sandstone accents and slate roof coverings. Inside, the chancel features detailed carved woodwork and the walls display stained glass windows from the 1860s.
The building was designed by prominent architect George Gilbert Scott and completed in 1861 following a major donation that funded its construction. It emerged during an era when churches were being rebuilt and expanded across Victorian England.
The church serves the local Anglican parish and shares its priest with two neighboring churches in the area. Visitors can observe how it functions as a spiritual gathering place for the wider community.
The church holds monthly services on the first Sunday morning at 9 a.m. with simple worship and no musical accompaniment. Visitors attending should plan accordingly for this regular timing and modest service format.
The chancel woodwork was intricately carved by local craftsperson Jessie H. Kennerley, creating an area of particular detail within the simple church. The stained glass windows were produced by Clayton and Bell, a notable workshop known for high-quality church commissions.
