Historic
The Church of St John the Evangelist was designed by William Burn, one of the foremost architects of his day. He chose the revived perpendicular gothic style, which was just becoming fashionable at that time. His design consisted originally of seven bays with five windows on each side, a flat east end with rose-type tracery at the apex of the window, and a tower at the west end surmounted by an open lantern. During construction the design was extended by one bay, giving eight bays with six windows on each side. The work was nearly completed when in January 1818 a great
storm blew down the open lantern, which was never replaced. The most notable internal feature was the plaster ceiling vault, which is derived from King Henry VII's chapel in Westminster Abbey.

Private House Stays
I have selected the properties on Private House Stays for their individuality that results from being privately owned. They take many forms from bed and breakfasts to small hotels but in each case it is the marque of the owner that sets it apart. This may be the charm of the furnishings, the wholesome home cooking or simply the atmosphere created by a charismatic host. I have inspected most of the establishments listed here and feel sure you will enjoy staying in them too.
Remember - booking through Private House Stays is free of charge.
