St John's Church

About

St John's Church is an Anglican church in Newton-on-Rawcliffe, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. For many years, Newton-on-Rawcliffe lay in the parish of St Peter and St Paul's Church, Pickering. A small wooden chapel of ease was built in the village in 1689.

By 1870, the building was in poor condition, so it was demolished and replaced by a new building in the Early English style. The church consists of an undivided nave and chancel, a north vestry and a south porch. The building is six bays long, and at the west end there is a bellcote with two bells.

The church has three lancet windows at the east end, and three at the west end. Inside are a chair and prayer stool made by Robert Thompson. The church clock, made by G.

T. F. Newey in 1927, has a six-legged gravity escapement.
