Children and Young People

Children and young people have the best seats at St John of Jerusalem. Right up the front, close to the altar. They're there because they are very important members of the community.

We're trying all the time to think up ways that will allow the younger members of our church to build a relationship with God and to grow in their undertstanding of the Christian faith, and we believe that they also have a lot to teach us adults.

A group of dedicated volunteers staff our Junior Church on a Sunday morning. Currently we have two groups - one for the under 7s, one for the over 7s. You can take a look at the the course material we're using at www.rootsontheweb.com.

Children and young people - please come. You'd be really welcome. And please bring your parents. And don't worry if you think they're badly behaved.   Edit

St John of Jerusalem History

Church History

The church was designed by Edward Charles Hakewill. It is a Grade II* listed building and was built in what's called the 'Early English' Gothic revival style.

The first Rector was Henry Handley Norris (1771-1850). Norris was a significant figure in the founding of the National Society which continues to this day to support and resource Church of England schools in England and Wales. The present-day church was Norris's last great project and was completed when he was 77 year old, just two years before his death.

The first St John of Jerusalem – a smaller classical building - was built in 1810. The churchyard can still be seen beside St Thomas's Place on the north side of Well Street. It was demolished in 1848.

The church's dedication, to St John of Jerusalem, is unusual. There was an old connection between the neighbourhood and the Order of St John of Jerusalem. One of the many manors that supported the work of the Order was located in Hackney, close to where Forsyth House now stands on the Frampton Park Estate. It's one of many fascinating aspects of both the church and the parish's rich history.
