St John Baptist, Brinklow

St John the Baptist's church in Brinklow is an attractive largely 15th century building standing on high ground, a position especially apparent within as the floor level rises considerably towards the east end, the altar being set much higher than the west end of the nave.

 

The nave and west tower are rather rustic examples of the Perpendicular style, though the church's origins are much earlier with the chancel still largely a 13th century structure.

 

The church was restored in the Victorian period from which time date some of the brightly coloured windows, but the most important glass consists of a few early 15th century fragments, some depicting birds, found in the north and south aisles.

 

The church is generally open and welcoming to visitors.
