St John the Evangelist's Church, Sandiway

St John the Evangelist's Church features red sandstone walls, a Lakeland slate roof, and a tower with diagonal buttresses and rising pilasters.

The construction of this Grade II listed building began in 1902, with architect John Douglas both designing and financing the chancel and lych gate.

The interior contains carved choir stalls and stained glass windows created by Lavers, Barraud and Westlake, reflecting early 20th-century ecclesiastical craftsmanship.

The church maintains an active schedule of Anglican services, with parking available on-site and additional spaces behind Sandiway School on Weaverham Road.

The architect John Douglas, who was born in Sandiway, donated the land for the church and incorporated both Perpendicular and Decorated architectural elements.
