St John's Church, Burwardsley, Anglican church in Burwardsley, England
St John's Church is an Anglican parish church built from buff sandstone with a three-part nave, a single-section chancel, and a side chapel. A covered entrance on the south side and a bell turret are distinctive features of the exterior.
The building originates from the 17th century and underwent extensive renovation in 1871 when architect John Douglas added the bell turret. This restoration significantly reshaped the structure.
The church serves as a gathering place for the local community and hosts regular Anglican worship. It functions as a focal point for life events and celebrations within the parish.
The church sits on School Lane and is easy to identify from the road. Visitors should be aware that this is an active community space, so access may be limited during private events or services.
The churchyard holds the graves of two soldiers from the First World War. These burials link the local community with the broader national narrative of the conflict.
