The mediaeval St John's Chapel, Sleights, was replaced by a new building, further down the hill, in 1767. [1] In 1848, it was described as a "very elegant structure".

It was grade II listed in 2005. [3]

The church is built of Grosmont sandstone, with a roof of Westmorland slate. It consists of a nave, a north aisle, a north transept, a chancel, and a northeast tower with a plain parapet and a pyramidal roof. The windows are lancets, and the east window is a stepped tripled lancet. The stained glass was designed by Charles Eamer Kempe. Inside, there is a hammerbeam roof, oak panelling to the lower parts of the walls, and an oak reredos and altar. [3] [4]
