St John the Evangelist's Church, Alvanley, Gothic Revival church in Alvanley, England

St John the Evangelist's Church features red sandstone walls, slate roofs, and circular piers supporting the interior arcades of this religious structure.

Built in 1860 by architect J. S. Crowther, the church was funded by Catherine Emma Arden, daughter of Richard Arden, first Baron Alvanley.

The interior preserves early 20th-century stained glass windows created by Shrigley and Hunt, along with a wooden board listing curates since 1677.

The building maintains an active schedule of Anglican services within the Chester diocese and includes facilities for weddings, baptisms, and community gatherings.

Two Grade II listed tombs and war graves of British and Canadian soldiers from World War I occupy the church grounds.
