"The town of Harleston was largely set up during the 13th century within the parish of Redenhall, and as such has not received a large church of its own. As a result the church of St John the Baptist is a 'chapel-of-ease' and dates to 1872, and its architect was Phipson, with the stained-glass a single commission from the O'Connors. The church itself is constructed from regular Victorian knapped flint with stone trim. Inside, most of the O'Connors glass remains, with some modern stained glass depicting the local landscape and the church's patron. The west window, of original glass, was restored in 2010."
