St John's Church, Howsham

[1] The church is built of gritstone with sandstone bands, and has a tile roof.

It consists of a narthex, a northwest tower, a nave, and a chancel with an apse and a north vestry.

The middle stage is gabled, and the top stage is octagonal, the bell openings separated by alternate grey marble and orange stone columns, the grey ones with ornate Italianate capitals, and the tower is surmounted by a spire with lucarnes.

[1][3] Inside, the font and pulpit are inlaid with multicoloured marble, and there is an aumbry and double sedilia.

The windows have stained glass by Clayton and Bell,[1] and have been described as "plate-traceries which are indeed stars as seen from within".
