Church of St John the Baptist

The Church of St John the Baptist in Tuebrook is notable for its Victorian Gothic architecture, built in red and yellow stone with tile and slate roofs, and a tower with pinnacles and an octagonal spire linked by flying buttresses. Inside, visitors find walls and ceilings richly decorated with stencilling, a gilded reredos with panels painted by C. E. Kempe, stained glass by Morris & Co. and Burne-Jones, and several memorial sculptures, including a statue of John the Baptist by Sir Ninian Comper. The area beneath the tower has become the Chapel of the Holy Cross, housing an altar and reredos adapted from a former choir screen, and the church maintains an Anglo-Catholic tradition with activities such as Sunday school and a weekly food bank in the parish hall.
