In 1859 the parish of Saint John was founded and in 1860 was consecrated by the Bishop of Oxford. A church designed by William Butterfield was built, which served the parish until 10 February 1943, when it was destroyed in a German air raid.[2]
After the war, money was raised to build a new church. Designed by Stephen Dykes Bower, it incorporates glass salvaged from the old church and over 750,000 hand-made bricks.[2] Dating from 1955, the sanctuary windows are by AE Buss of Goddard & Gibbs.[3]
The church is Grade II listed.[4]
