St John's Church

The Gothic Revival church features high vaulted ceilings, intricate stonework, and stained glass windows that illuminate the interior space through colored light patterns.

During summer holidays in the mid-20th century, Queen Elizabeth II, the Queen Mother, and Princess Anne attended Sunday mass services at this Grade II listed building.

The conversion from a religious building to residential property in 2001 reflects broader changes in English society and the repurposing of religious structures.

The building stands on three-quarters of an acre of grounds and underwent extensive renovation, including foundation repairs to address water infiltration issues.

The former nave transformed into a drawing room maintains the original architectural elements while incorporating modern residential comforts and amenities.
