Church of St John, Victorian church in Goole, England
The Church of St John stands on Church Street with its central tower and spire marking the local skyline of Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire.
The foundation stone for this Gothic Revival church was laid in 1843, receiving financial support from the Aire and Calder Navigation company for its construction.
The church houses numerous memorials, including silver wafer boxes, shipping memorials, and brass tablets dedicated to past parishioners and church figures.
The recent restoration work funded by the Covid-19 Emergency Heritage at Risk Response Fund addressed the chancel roof and improved the overall structure.
In 1889, the church experienced a tragic event when Reverend Morton, newly appointed as vicar, died from typhoid fever due to local sanitation issues.
