About St. John's Church
St. John’s Church in Glassonby, Cumbria, is a former Church of England place of worship and a Grade II listed building. No longer used for parish worship, it was converted into a private home in 2010–11. The conversion was later shown on George Clarke’s Channel 4 programme, The Restoration Man.
Built in 1868 as a chapel serving Addingham church, the church was established partly in response to the increasing local influence of Methodism. The Duke of Devonshire provided the site following a request from the Reverend Brown, its first vicar. Voluntary donations met the construction cost of £1,075 19s 10d. Designed in the Gothic Revival tradition, the building has a high spire, pointed lancet openings and buttressed exterior walls. Its sole stained-glass feature was John Scott’s three-light window in the eastern apse, incorporating geometric and botanical patterns.
