The church was built in 1873–74 to a design by the Lancaster partnership of Paley and Austin.[3]
St John's is constructed in coursed slate rubble with sandstone dressings. The roofs are slated, with tiles on the crest. Its plan consists of a four-bay nave and a chancel in one range, a north porch, and a south vestry. The chancel has an apsidal east end. At the west end of the church is a bellcote with a spirelet. All the windows are lancets, other than two square-headed windows in the vestry, and a rose window above two lancets at the west end. The porch consists of a wooden frame on stone bases, and it is gabled. The bellcote is wooden and hung with slates. Its spirelet is broached at the base, and contains small lucarnes.[2][3]
