St John the Evangelist's Church, Toft, Grade II listed Gothic Revival church in Toft, England
The church features rubble stone walls with ashlar details, a tiled roof, five-bay nave, and a southwest steeple with octagonal piers inside.
Mrs Leycester of Toft Hall funded the construction of this church between 1852 and 1855 in memory of her husband, following William Habershon's designs.
French artist Antoine Lusson created stained glass windows for the chancel in 1853, depicting detailed quatrefoil scenes that enhance the interior decoration.
The church operates as an active Anglican parish within the Knutsford deanery, part of the Macclesfield archdeaconry and Chester diocese.
The chancel was specifically designed for private family use rather than choir purposes, reflecting the personal nature of its initial construction.
