Background

History

St John's Church was built and opened in 1869. Following the First World War, a Memorial Hall was built as an annexe to the church in 1924. The mission church, Emmanuel, opened in 1965 as St John's Mission, though previous buildings on the site were associated with the church as far back as the early 1900s as Sunday schools and a vicarage. The most recent building development was of the St John's Community Centre, which opened at the St John's site in 2004. St John's Church is a listed building. The Emmanuel building and site were sold in 2016.
