Since 1862 there have been two St John's churches in the present grounds. The first was a wooden structure, used as both a church and a school. By 1886 it had become unserviceable and in 1890 work began on a new brick and stone building alongside the old one.

The new church was designed by Arthur Blackett, son of the well-known architect Edmund Blackett. Building was completed in April 1891 and the church was opened free of debt. It was dedicated to divine worship on 5th April 1891 and consecrated on 26th April 1893.

The church is heritage listed & is very well maintained mainly by volunteers.
