History
The Victorian church of Saint John the Baptist was badly damaged during the Second World War. The ruins were demolished after the war and the parish was united with Saint James, Plumstead (P97/JS). A new, but smaller, church was built on the same site in 1959 to serve the new parish of Saint John with Saint James and Saint Paul, Plumstead.
