St John the Evangelist's Church is a Grade I listed parish church in the Church of England in Carlton in Lindrick, Nottinghamshire.[1]
Situated in Catlton's section of South Carlton, it mustn't be confused with St John the Baptist's Church (see WM Commons) in South Carlton, Lincolnshire
History[edit]
The church dates from the 7th century, making it one of the earliest religious foundations in Nottinghamshire.[2]
The tower is from the early Norman period. The tower and chancel arches are also Norman. The north arcade is Transitional Norman and the south was built to imitate it. The church has a Norman font and an alabaster carving of the 15th century.[3]
St Johns forms a joint parish with St Luke's Church, Langold and St Mark's Church, Oldcotes, within the Diocese of Southwell and Nottingham.
Clock[edit]
An old clock which had not operated for over 20 years was replaced in 1851 with one donated by Robert Ramsden Esq. and built by Whitehurst of Derby.[4] It comprised two dials of cast painted metal, a pendulum weighing 1.25 cwt and a driving weight of 5.25 cwt.
