St. John the Baptist Church is an Anglican church in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, England.

[edit] History

The church is medieval and the chancel remains, but the remainder was heavily restored and rebuilt in 1842 by George Gilbert Scott and William Bonython Moffatt. It was enlarged in 1876 by C. H. Thornton.

An £860,000 re-ordering and renovation in 2007 moved the main entrance to the west end, and cleaned the interior, with new heating, seating and a new organ.

The font dates from the reign of King Henry III.
