St John the Evangelist's Church, Newton Arlosh, is in the village of Newton Arlosh, Cumbria, England. It is an active Anglican parish church in the deanery of Carlisle, the archdeaconry of Carlisle, and the diocese of Carlisle. Originally a fortified church, it was extended in the 19th century. It has been designated by English Heritage as a Grade I listed building. St John's was built in 1303 by the monks of Holme Cultram Abbey. It was granted a licence to crenellate on 11 April 1304. After the Dissolution of the Monasteries in the 16th century, the church remained in ruins until it was restored and extended by Sara Losh in 1844. The extension involved the building of a chancel at right angles to the north of the nave. In 1894 the church was further restored and refurnished.
