St John the Evangelist's Church, Farnworth, Grade II listed Anglican church in Farnworth, United Kingdom
The stone church features a five-bay nave, three-bay chancel, and a west tower with octagonal buttresses leading to turrets at the corners.
Built between 1824 and 1826 as a Commissioners' church, architect Thomas Hardwick designed the structure with later additions by Paley and Austin in 1873.
The interior contains a gallery supported by octagonal columns, with stained glass windows depicting the Baptism of Jesus created between 1908 and 1958.
