• KD019-014001 Church
  Description

  May have been built originally by the Knights Hospitallers of St John of Jerusalem, from whom Johnstown village took its name. Stands on a slight rise near the centre of a graveyard (KD019-014002-). A partially restored, rectangular structure (int dims L 13.4m E-W; Wth 5.2m) is built of rubble, limestone masonry (av. wall T 0.9m), with some tufa and granite boulders, and may once have been a chancel: the W gable wall contains a large, rebuilt, two-centred arch (H 4.3m; Wth 2.3m) erected off-centre, to the N. It incorporated the N, tufa-built jamb of an earlier, wider arch, the S jamb of which is visible in the masonry to the S. The entrance doorway (Wth 1.2m) in the N wall may be a later insertion. The E gable wall contains a restored double ogee-headed window in a broad, square-headed embrasure with a steeply plunging sill. Most of the S wall has been rebuilt, and a round-headed window-piece is reused to face a small niche on the inner wall face to act as a stoup. The interior contains the 15th century 'Flatesbury Monument' (KD019-014003-), a medieval font (KD019-014004-) and a 19th century high cross marking the burials of the Bourke (Mayo) family.

• KD019-014002 Graveyard
  Description

  Although the OSL (Herity 2002, 60 (176)) record, ' … in the graveyard … there is still burial', the site is not named as a graveyard on the 1st ed. (1838) of the OS 6-inch map. A well-maintained, roughly rectangular, roadside graveyard (dims L c. 50m NW-SE; Wth c. 30m NE-SW) contains a medieval church (KD019-014001-), the 'Flatesbury Monument' (KD019-014003-), a font (KD019-014004-), and a 19th century high cross marking the burials of the Bourke (Mayo) family, the most famous of whom was probably Richard Southwell, Sixth Earl of Mayo (1822-1872), who - apart from serving as Chief Secretary for Ireland three times - was appointed Viceroy of India, from where, following his assassination in 1872, he was apparently shipped home in a barrel of rum, and became known in village lore as 'The Pickled Earl".

Known as the 'Flatesbury Monument', it possibly commemorates the marriage of Eleanor Wogan and James Flatesbury in 1564 .
