St John's Church, Skipton-on-Swale
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
St John's Church is a closed church in Skipton-on-Swale, a village in North Yorkshire, in England.
Skipton was long in the parish of St Columba's Church, Topcliffe. A church was built in 1842, at a cost of £700. A vestry was added on the north side in the 20th century. The building was grade II listed in 1988.[1][2][3] The church closed for worship in 2022.[4]
The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a three-bay nave with a south porch, and a single-bay chancel with a north vestry. On the west gable is a gabled bellcote with a four-centred arched opening. The porch contains a four-centred arch, and a gable with kneelers and stone coping. The windows have two lights, flat heads, chamfered mullions, lights with cusped heads, and hood moulds.[3][5]
