St. John's Church, Egham, Grade II* listed church building in Egham, United Kingdom.
St. John's Church stands as a notable example of early 19th-century ecclesiastical architecture, featuring traditional stone construction with a simple yet elegant facade that dominates the local landscape.
The current church building was constructed between 1817 and 1820 by architect Henry Rhodes, replacing a medieval structure that had become inadequate for Egham's expanding population during the industrial period.
The church serves as a central gathering place for community worship and special events, housing several memorial plaques and monuments that commemorate local residents and their contributions throughout different historical periods.
Visitors can access the church during regular daytime hours with nearby parking facilities available, and the building hosts weekly services along with special ceremonies throughout the year.
The church incorporates fragments of medieval tiles from the historic Chertsey Abbey embedded into its floor, along with bells dating from the 15th and 17th centuries that continue to ring today.
