History
The church of Saint John the Baptist was constructed between 1871 and 1872, designed by William Wigginton. A parish was assigned in 1873. The building was damaged by enemy action in 1940 and services were moved to the church hall. The church was declared redundant in 1971 and was demolished in 1981.
