About the Church

First built in 1843, St John the Evangelist was greatly enlarged by architect John Loughborough Pearson, the famed exponent of Victorian Gothic, in 1889-85. It boasts a soaring 185ft spire, original Victorian stained-glass windows, and a Father Willis organ (1897.)  

Nearly all the stained glass is by Clayton and Bell, and dates to the enlarging of the church. Particularly outstanding is the East Window, which features the Crucifixion, Resurrection and Ascension.
