Church of Saint John the Baptist, Knaresborough, Medieval parish church in Knaresborough, England.

The Church of Saint John the Baptist features a central tower, nave, chancel, and stained glass windows created by the William Morris studio.

King Henry I granted this religious building to the canons at Nostell Priory in 1114, establishing its presence in the medieval town of Knaresborough.

The Slingsby family chapel contains 17th-century memorials that document the relationships between local nobility and religious institutions of that period.

The church maintains level access throughout its main areas and provides dedicated parking spaces within 250 meters of the entrance.

The building displays a string course of early brickwork and blocked windows in the chancel, flanked by 13th-century chapels.
