Description
St John the Evangelist's Church is an Anglican place of worship in Preston Village featuring a long nave divided into five bays. Stone walls support tiled roofs, and pointed lancet windows punctuate the exterior throughout the structure.
History
This church emerged as a replacement after a fire destroyed the original parish church of St Peter in the area. It received parish status in 1908 and took over the spiritual care of the community.
Culture
The church serves as a gathering place where locals come together for worship and community events. The cafe that opens after services on Sundays and Wednesdays creates a social space where visitors and residents chat over refreshments.
Practical
The church sits on Knoyle Road and is easy to reach on foot from the neighborhood. Regular services and seasonal events run throughout the year, so checking the local schedule beforehand helps plan a visit.
Did you know?
The building displays Early English Revival details, notably a wooden and lead spire that sits above the eastern end of the nave. Architect Arthur Blomfield designed this distinctive tower, which catches light in interesting ways throughout the day.
