NY4937 : St John the Evangelist's Church, Plumpton
taken 15 years ago, near to Plumpton, Cumbria, England
St John the Evangelist's Church, Plumpton
Built in 1907, by Sir Robert Lorimer, to replace a chapel of ease built in 1767. Pevsner considers it to be an excellent church. The south tower, has a very pronounced batter and its bell-openings are a stone screen of reticulation; it looks to be in the spirit of the medieval church towers that were refuges. The south porch, also has a batter, and the E wall is unusual in not having a window. Outside is a font, an octagonal baluster. One window has stained glass by Morris & Co.
