St John the Evangelist Church was built by Shrewsbury architect Sir Edward Haycock in 1848. The stained glass windows that you see are the originals. The church, which is Grade II-listed, is situated amid rolling countryside in a peaceful spot.

The first name John has been widespread since biblical times, and so it should not surprise us to find a whole series of blessed and saints with this name over the two millennia of Christianity. At the threshold from the Old to the New Testament we encounter John the Baptist (also John Baptist), to whom most John churches are dedicated. But one of the four men who wrote the New Testament Gospels also bears this name. This church is dedicated to him, JOHN THE EVANGELIST. A long church tradition has regarded the evangelist as identical with the apostle John mentioned in the Bible, but this is doubted in biblical scholarship.

"The Gospel of John exerts a peculiar fascination. It is difficult to escape its solemn, sometimes mystical language. It addresses deep human needs and longings: hunger and thirst, the search for fulfilling eternal life, the longing for personal communion with God.” (Franz-Josef Ortkemper)
