History
Built in 1876 by Edwin Henry Horne, it burned down in 1920, and was rebuilt and re-opened in 1923. St John's first two vicars were, unusually, father (Julius Summerhayes) succeeded by son (Julius James Summerhayes ), and between them they pastored the church for the first 64 years of its life. According to church documents, in the late 19th century the church founded the local cottage hospital and St John's School, and in early years of the 20th century recorded regular congregations of more than 1000 at both morning and evening services.Notable Clergy
A notable curate at St John's around 1927 was Eric Nash ("Bash") who went on to lay the foundations for the postwar growth in British evangelical Christianity by running summer camps that resulted in a number of boys from leading public schools becoming Christians and subsequently entering Christian ministry. In more recent years, Sally Hitchiner was curate from 2009 to 2012, during which time she developed a role as a media commentator and was frequency seen on television discussing religious affairs.Current Activities
