The Church of St John the Baptist is a Church of England parish church at Eastnor in the English county of Herefordshire. Of 12th century origins, the church was completely rebuilt between 1851 and 1852 by George Gilbert Scott for John Somers-Cocks, 2nd Earl Somers. It is a Grade I listed building.

History

The original church was probably constructed in the 12th century.[1] It was rebuilt in the 13th century and the tower, now the earliest remaining part, was constructed in the 14th. In 1851, John Somers-Cocks, 2nd Earl Somers, of Eastnor Castle, commissioned George Gilbert Scott to undertake a complete rebuilding.[1] Scott originally intended to reuse much of the original material, and the stones of the earlier church were taken down and numbered with this intention. Most were, however, found to be so deteriorated that reuse was impossible and, with the exception of the 14th-century tower, the current church dates almost entirely from Scott's reconstruction.[2][3] Шаблон:Quote box

The 2nd Earl did not live to see the completion of his new church, dying in 1852.[4] He was succeeded by his son, Charles who died in 1883 and is interred in the centre of the Somers-Cocks mortuary chapel in the church.[5]

St John's remains an active parish church in the Diocese of Hereford.[6]

The church is commemorated in Songs of Three Counties by Radclyffe Hall. [See box]

Architecture

St John's is constructed of local red sandstone and comprises the 14th-century tower, a nave, a north aisle and the Somers-Cocks mortuary chapel.[2] The church fittings include a painting of The Crucifixion with a decorated frame by Augustus Pugin.Шаблон:Efn[7] The church is a Grade I listed building, its Historic England entry describing it as a “high quality but little known masterpiece”.[1]
