St John's Church, Burwardsley

The church originates from the 17th century. It has a buttress dated 1730, and the church was restored in 1795. In 1871 a further restoration was carried out by the Chester architect John Douglas, which included the addition of a bell turret. Another restoration, with the addition of a chancel which has been attributed to Douglas, was carried out in about 1878.

St John's is constructed in ashlar buff sandstone with a Welsh slate roof. Its plan consists of a three-bay nave, a one-bay chancel with a side chapel, and a south porch. The bays of the nave are divided by buttresses and they have two or four-light mullioned windows with arch-headed lights. The east window has three round-headed lights, the central one being taller. The west window is simple with Y-tracery. The bell turret is at the west end and has a pyramidal roof.
