St John's Church is an Anglican church in Dalton, near Thirsk in North Yorkshire, in England. The church was constructed on the initiative of Mary Isabel Dawnay, to a design by William Butterfield, and was completed in 1868. It was originally a chapel of ease to St Columba's Church, Topcliffe. It was grade II* listed in 1988. The church is built of stone with a Welsh slate roof, and it consists of a nave with a south porch, a chancel with a south transept and a north vestry, and a slim west bellcote tower. The tower contains a lancet window with a hood mould, and a sill band. The upper stage, which is corbelled inwards, has a clock face, and it rises to become octagonal with four lancet bell openings. Above this is an eaves band and a spirelet. The windows in the body of the church are cusped lancets. Inside the church, there is red brick, with bands of stone and blue brick. There is much polychromatic decoration, particularly in the chancel. There is a timber rood screen, and a reredos of marble and coloured stone. There is a brass chandelier in the chancel, and a stone font in the nave, both designed by Butterfield. The stained glass is by Morris & Co., with Saint John the Evangelist in the west window, Christ and angels in the east window, and the Annunication in the north window of the chancel.

North Yorkshire is a ceremonial county in the Yorkshire and the Humber and North East regions of England. It borders County Durham to the north, the North Sea to the east, the East Riding of Yorkshire to the south-east, South Yorkshire to the south, West Yorkshire to the south-west, and Cumbria and Lancashire to the west. Northallerton is the county town. The county is the largest in England by land area, at 9,020 km2 (3,480 sq mi), and has a population of 1,158,816. The largest settlements are Middlesbrough (174,700) in the north-east and the city of York (152,841) in the south. Middlesbrough is part of the Teesside built-up area, which extends into County Durham and has a total population of 376,663. The remainder of the county is rural, and the largest towns are Harrogate (73,576) and Scarborough (61,749). For local government purposes the county comprises four unitary authority areas — York, Middlesbrough, Redcar and Cleveland, and North Yorkshire — and part of a fifth, Stockton-on-Tees. The centre of the county contains a wide plain, called the Vale of Mowbray in the north and Vale of York in the south. The North York Moors lie to the east, and south of them the Vale of Pickering is separated from the main plain by the Howardian Hills. The west of the county contains the Yorkshire Dales, an extensive upland area which contains the source of the River Ouse/Ure and many of its tributaries, which together drain most of the county. The Dales also contain the county's highest point, Whernside, at 2,415 feet (736 m).
