Begun in 1877 and completed in 1888, St John's is said to be the finest work of local architect John Cundall. Characteristically, he has placed the tower to the side of the nave so that it forms a powerful focal point in the long view from the top of the street (to the right of the camera). The spire is a landmark for miles around.
