St John's Church, Lytham

The church was designed by E. H. Shellard, and was built in 1848–49. Extensions to the transepts and the chancel, also by Shellard, were made in 1856–57. In 1897 a lych gate was erected in memory of Revd T. G. Smart, vicar of the church, who had died in the previous year. In about 1920 a southeast chapel was remodelled as a war memorial chapel by Frank Mee.

Inside the church are six-bay arcades carried on short cylindrical piers. The pews are box pews with the doors removed. The war memorial chapel has a screen by Ernest Flower. The memorial in the chapel is in the form of a stone arcade, designed by Cartmell and carved by J. Stother. The stained glass in the south aisle dates from 1911, and consists of a scheme of Northern saints by Geoffrey Webb. The glass in the war memorial window is by B. D. Walmsley. There is a ring of six bells, all cast in 1875 by Mears and Stainbank of the Whitechapel Bell Foundry.
