St. John's Seminary, Catholic seminary in Wonersh, United Kingdom.

The Grade II listed building features Victorian Gothic architecture with red brick walls, stone dressings, and a central tower reaching toward the sky.

The seminary began operations in 1891 under Bishop John Butt's leadership, serving as the principal educational institution for the Diocese of Arundel and Brighton.

Throughout its 130-year history, the seminary educated numerous Catholic priests from Southern England and maintained strong connections with continental European religious institutions.

The building ceased operations as a seminary in July 2021 and underwent transformation plans for residential accommodation under new ownership since December 2022.

The seminary's sacred objects now form The Wonersh Collection at Stonyhurst College Museum, preserving its religious heritage for future generations.
