St John's Church, Burslem, Anglican church in Burslem, England
The church structure combines a massive stone Norman tower with a brick building featuring tall windows with round arches and an apsidal chancel.
The west tower, constructed in 1536, stands as the oldest structure still in use within Stoke-on-Trent, maintaining its late perpendicular architectural style.
Through an Act of Parliament in 1807, St John's elevated from a chapelry to become the main Parish Church of Burslem, reflecting the area's population growth.
The churchyard contains numerous graves of notable potters, including William Adams and Enoch Wood, illustrating the connection to local industrial heritage.
The tomb of Margaret Leigh from 1748 lies in a north-south orientation, modified by the rector after reported supernatural occurrences in the area.
