St John the Baptist church - interior

Odd on the outside and even more unusual within, particularly the four plain Doric columns that support the roof. The church dates from the 1750's and was built at a time of lead mining prosperity. Congregations must have been large as there was once a gallery as well.

Geographical Context: Lowlands Village, Rural settlement Religious sites
