St John the Baptist's Church, Guilden Sutton, Anglican church in Guilden Sutton, England.
St John the Baptist's Church is an Anglican place of worship with a brick structure that features a five-bay nave, chancel, south porch, and an octagonal louvered timber bellcote at the western end. The interior layout and exterior details create a typical church design from the early 19th century.
The building was constructed in 1815 to replace an earlier church whose chancel had collapsed in 1802. Materials from the original 16th-century structure were reused during the rebuilding.
The church serves as a gathering place for worship and community events that shape the spiritual and social life of the village. Visitors can experience how this building remains central to the lives of local residents who regularly attend services and celebrations here.
The church is located in Guilden Sutton and received improved accessibility and modern facilities following a comprehensive restoration in 2001. Visitors should be aware that the building serves as an active community place and is accessible during worship times.
The churchyard contains a Grade II listed buff sandstone sundial from 1596 mounted on a baluster column with a square base. This rare object dates from centuries before the church itself was rebuilt and stands as a quiet reminder of the site's older past.
