St John the Evangelist's Church, Alvanley
St John the Evangelist's Church, Alvanley, is located in the village of Alvanley, Cheshire, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the diocese of Chester, the archdeaconry of Chester and the deanery of Frodsham. Its benefice is united with that of St John the Evangelist, Manley.[1] The church has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade II listed building.[2] It is described by the authors of the Buildings of England series as "a building of some character".[3]
History
The church was built in 1860 to a design by J. S. Crowther at the expense of Catherine Emma Arden, the youngest daughter of Richard Arden, 1st Baron Alvanley.[2]
Architecture
Exterior
The church is built in red sandstone with gabled grey slate roofs in early Decorated style. Its plan consists of four-bay nave with north and south aisles under separate roofs, and a chancel with a north vestry. On the west end is a corbelled belfry with small steeple containing two bells. The windows contain either Geometric tracery, or Y-tracery. The gables have ornate cross finials.[2]
Interior
The arcades are carried on circular piers.[2] The stained glass dates from the early 20th century, and is probably by Shrigley and Hunt.[3] Also in the church is a wooden board giving the list of curates since 1677, and vicars since 1861.[4]
External features
In the churchyard are two tombs which are listed Grade II.[5][6]
