St John the Evangelist Church, St John’s Road was consecrated in 1853 and is an architectural icon of Huddersfield. With a soaring tower of 220ft, the spire reminds countless people to lift their eyes heavenward.

The design is by William Butterfield and the building was entrusted to Joseph Kaye of Huddersfield. Within the church the chancel and sanctuary are of two bays with diagonal buttresses and a tall five light east window with fine geometrical tracery; this window was built by James Powell and Sons (Whitefriars) Ltd in 1923 and is dedicated to those who gave their lives in the Great War and in memory of deceased relatives who have worshipped
