The Church of St John the Divine, designed by William Swinden Barber,[2] was built as a mission church in 1892–1893 in the parish of St James, Chapelthorpe, Crigglestone, Wakefield, West Yorkshire, England. It is Grade II listed. It was funded by local benefactor Mary Mackie in memory of her husband.[2] It is of Gothic Revival and Arts and Crafts design. The exterior is small, plain and simple and the interior is low church; nevertheless the interior contains a fine scissor-truss roof which retains its original 1892 stencil paintings. The church closed in 2018.[3] In 2020 the church was purchased.The church is destined to be converted into a 4 bedroom home now plans have been approved Wakefield council in 2024.[4]
