St John's Church, Rawtenstall, Grade II listed church building in Cloughfold, England

The sandstone structure features a nave with low aisles, a chancel, double transepts, and an incomplete tower at the southwest corner.

The Lancaster architectural firm Sharpe, Paley and Austin designed and constructed this Gothic Revival church in 1890 for a cost of £5,000.

The building's transformation from a religious center to a warehouse in 1976 reflects the changing dynamics of religious institutions in Lancashire.

St John's Church stands at coordinates 53.70035 latitude and -2.27342 longitude, with its original stained glass now displayed in Vancouver Cathedral.

The church's intended tower base incorporates a porch but reaches only 10 feet in height, creating an unusual architectural feature.
