Address

St John of Jerusalem
Hackney, London
Greater London
E9 7DH

St John of Jerusalem opened its doors to the people of South Hackney in 1848. Designed by Edward Charles Hakewill, its style and size encapsulate Victorian Gothic ideals. St John's is now listed Grade II*. Unfortunately, Hakewill and the first rector, Henry Handley Norris, opted to build the church from Kentish ragstone, with Wealdon sandstone dressings. These sandy limestones are very susceptible to decay and the building needed repairs almost as soon as it was built.
