St John the Evangelist Church is a grade II listed Church of England church situated at Ridgeway, within the parish of Eckington, Derbyshire, England.
The church opened in 1840, having cost £2,000 to build. The tower was added in 1884. In 1984 changes were made so that the church could be used as a community centre.
The Anglican church was built between 1839 and 1840 [1] as a result of the growing population in the village. The dedication service was on 22 September 1840. [2] Prior to the church being built, residents of the hamlet attended the St Peter and St Paul's Church in the nearby village of Eckington. [3] The church was designed in a Gothic style by the architectural firm of Woodhead and Hurst, [4] at a cost of £2,000. [5] The tower and its bell was installed in 1884. [5]
In 1984 alterations were made to enable use as a community centre. [4] One of the stained glass windows is a memorial to Judy Farrer a long serving church warden. [6] The church was designated as a Grade II listed building in 1989. [4]
The parish is within the benefice of Eckington and Ridgeway within the Diocese of Derby. [7]
The coal measures sandstone building has ashlar dressings and a Welsh slate roof. It consists of a six- bay nave, two-bay chancel with vestry, north and south aisles and a gabled porch with a three-stage tower to the south west, which is supported buttresses. The upper stage which holds the bell has octagonal corner columns and octagonal pinnacles [4]
