The church of St John the Evangelist is on Kings Road, not far from Hurst Cross. Built in 1849, the church is at an angle to the road so that it lies in a traditional west-east alignment. The steeple is a landmark that can be seen from miles around. The church has a thriving community centre close by.
It is a difficult church to photograph as it is set back from the road in a churchyard full of mature trees!

ReplyDeleteThis was the church where I was baptised, and where I later spent several years as organist before heading off to university. Sad to say that the last time I played the organ there was for mum's funeral.
