The Church of St John The Baptist is a Grade I-listed church in the heart of Royston. Founded as an Augustinian Priory in the second half of the 12th century, it was transformed into a parish church after Henry VIII’s dissolution. The west tower dates to the 16th century. Inside, you can observe a finely-carved wooden pulpit and lectern from the 15th century and a medieval octagonal font.
