St John the Evangelist Church, Oxford, Gothic church building in Iffley Road, Oxford, England.
The church features aisles and a chancel with pinnacled flying buttresses, along with a castellated west tower added in 1902.
Constructed between 1894 and 1896, the church was designed by architect G. F. Bodley as a community church for the Society of St. John the Evangelist.
The interior contains Stations of the Cross created by Edward Arthur Fellowes Prynne in 1921 and stained glass windows designed by C. E. Kempe.
Since 1980, the building has served as one of the chapels for St Stephen's House, Oxford, while also hosting musical events through SJE Arts Oxford.
The church tower flag helped Roger Bannister assess wind conditions when he broke the four-minute mile record at the nearby running track in 1954.
