Histórico
The church of Saint John originated as a chapel of ease to the church of Saint Matthew. It was founded in 1828. A district was assigned in 1837. By 1858 the church supported a provident society, library and bible class. A mission was opened in Peel Grove in 1881. The church building was constructed in 1826-1828, designed by Sir John Soane. It was damaged by enemy action in 1941. In 1951 part of the parish was united with Saint James the Less (P72/JSL); and the rest with Saint Simon Zelotes (P72/SIM) to form the parish of Saint John with Saint Simon. In 1978 it was again merged, this time with Saint Bartholomew (P72/BAT) to form Saint John with Saint Bartholomew. Saint John's became the parish church.
