Just down the road from St Bede. An impressive but rather run down looking exterior. It was designed by T. Marsh Nelson and built in 1840-42. The church is only used for one weekday Anglican service but is also used by the United Pentecostal Church. During the week it is used by a charity the St John’s Community Development Project. The aisles have been converted to offices and the chancel is dominated by a giant screen that hides the altar and reredos as well as being used as a storage space. The font is locked inside a glass cubicle. Upstairs the galleries retain their box pews.
