Church of St John the Baptist, Anglican parish church in Wakefield, England
The Church of St John the Baptist features a west tower with five stages, crowned by a polygonal dome and round belfry openings at the uppermost level.
Built between 1791 and 1795 to designs by Charles Watson, the church underwent alterations in 1885 and received extensions in 1905 by John Thomas Micklethwaite.
The interior contains original Georgian pews, a polygonal pulpit from 1822, and multiple commemorative wall tablets spanning from the 18th to 20th centuries.
The church opens during the annual Heritage Weekend in September for guided tours, with additional visits possible through advance arrangements with the churchwarden.
The nave ceiling displays sunken round panels while the chancel features a painted and gilded barrel ceiling adorned with the IHS monogram.
