Church of St John Evangelist

About

St John's Church is the parish church of Whitwell-on-the-Hill, a village in North Yorkshire, in England. Until the mid-19th century, Whitwell was in the parish of St Michael's Church, Crambe. A church was constructed in the village between 1858 and 1860 by George Edmund Street, in a late-13th century neo-Gothic style. The building was grade II* listed in 1985.

The church is built in sandstone with a tile roof. It consists of a nave, a south porch, and a chancel with a north vestry and a south steeple. The steeple has a tower with two stages, a semicircular stair turret on the west, lancet windows, a south clock face, two-light bell openings with roundels above, and a broach spire with lucarnes. On the west front is a row of four lancet windows, and a rose window above containing roundels. Inside, the reredos, font and pulpit all have inlaid marble.
