St John the Evangelist's Church, Norley

St John the Evangelist's Church features red sandstone walls, a central tower with clock faces, and quatrefoil plate tracery in its nave windows.

The church, designed by architect John Loughborough Pearson, replaced an 1833 chapel of ease on land donated by Samuel Woodhouse of Norley Hall in 1879.

The church contains stained glass windows crafted by William Morris of Westminster and an altar designed by F.H. Crossley in the early twentieth century.

The entrance through the south porch requires climbing eleven steps, leading to a double-chamfered arched doorway supported by stone columns.

The churchyard holds three military graves, with two World War I soldiers buried at the northeast corner and one World War II soldier on the western side.
