St John the Evangelist's Church, St Leonards-on-Sea, Anglican church in St Leonards-on-Sea, England

The church features Gothic Revival architecture with red brick walls, contrasting yellow brick details, and a prominent tower visible from surrounding streets.

Arthur Blomfield designed the original structure in 1881, which suffered extensive damage during World War II bombings in 1943, leading to reconstruction in the 1950s.

The interior contains significant artistic elements, including stained glass windows by Joseph Ledger and a 16th-century painting created by Ortolano Ferrarese.

The church holds regular services with a Sunday Parish Mass at 10:30 AM, an early morning Mass at 8:00 AM, and a midweek service on Wednesdays.

Following wartime destruction, architect Harry Stuart Goodhart-Rendel incorporated surviving elements of the tower and west wall into the reconstructed building design.
