St John's Congregational Chapel was designed by architects Paull and Robinson of Manchester and built in 1868. The upper stage of the clock tower and spire were added in 1908, the manse and three schoolrooms in 1872. The present chapel was built in the Gothic style with a long-wall entry plan and integral tower. St John's is now Grade 2 Listed as an ambitious and prominent late nineteenth century non-conformist chuapel.
