Church of St John the Divine, Calder Grove, Arts and Crafts movement church in Calder Grove, England
The Church of St John the Divine features Elland stone construction with Huddersfield stone dressing and contains a scissor-truss roof with original stencil paintings.
Mary Mackie funded the construction of this Grade II listed church between 1892 and 1893 as a mission church in the parish of St James, Chapelthorpe.
The church interior displays William Swinden Barber's architectural expertise through carefully designed liturgical furnishings, wrought iron elements, and carved wooden sanctuary items.
Located at Denby Dale Road West in Wakefield, West Yorkshire, the church received approval in 2024 for conversion into residential property.
In 1903, the chancel required complete rebuilding due to subsidence into old mine workings, following the original design but losing some decorative elements.
