No longer in use, the church of St John the Baptist at Plumpton, was almost completely rebuilt in 1822 by the landown Jesus College Oxford.
The simple Georgian interior retains a number of the features of the original building including the box pews, benches and commandment boards.
The font is mid C17, and the chancel retains the original painted stencil work of stars and sun among painted architectural columns. The south arcade east wall has a marble tablet to the memory of Anne Moore (d1683).
