St John's Church was built in 1959 within the ruined walls of an earlier, possibly Victorian, church which was bombed during the Second World War and badly damaged. The ruins were mostly demolished after the War and the new church used what may have been parts of the transept and chancel walls of the former church. It consists of a simple rectangular nave and chancel orientated north to south, with two separate extensions attached to the east wall forming the vestry and a library. A church hall forms an extension to the west in what may have been the former nave. As can be seen it is surrounded by tower blocks and there is another overshadowing the church to the north-east - see http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4810562
