St John's Church, Gothic Revival church building in Barmouth, Wales.
The red sandstone structure rises on St John's Hill with its tower reaching 24 meters above the surrounding coastal landscape of Gwynedd.
The church construction started in 1889 after the local population grew due to railway tourism, replacing the insufficient St David's harbor church.
The interior features carvings in roof trusses, wrought iron fixtures, and stained glass windows created by CE Kemp depicting Christian narratives.
The church maintains regular Sunday services at 11:30 AM and remains open to visitors from 10 AM to 5 PM during summer months.
The bell tower contains eight Mears & Stainbank bells, with the heaviest bell weighing 22 cwt, ranking as the eighth heaviest in Wales.
