St John's was built as a Free Church in 1843 and named St Johns in 1900 after union with the Free and United Presbyterian Churches. Designed by A J Graham, the building is in the Romanesque style with the tall tower at the north-west corner and vestry to the south-west linked by an arcaded narthex. LinkExternal link
