St John's Church, Throapham

The church features a three-bay nave with clerestory, north and south aisles, and a western tower constructed in limestone with stainless steel roofs.

The structure contains Anglo-Saxon elements and underwent several construction phases, with the tower added in the 15th century and chancel rebuilt in 1709.

The octagonal font displays carvings representing the three known continents at the time of its creation, reflecting medieval geographical understanding.

The Churches Conservation Trust maintains the building, with visits arranged through the Local Community Officer by email or telephone.

A stone coffin lid from 1300 exhibits intricate high-relief foliage carvings, divided into two sections and preserved within the church.
