St John the Evangelist
Welcome to St John's Church, serving the parish of Kirk Merrington. We are a warm and friendly church who open and welcoming everyone. We are all on one level for easy access and our church wardens Mary and Win are always on hand to show you to a seat and guide you through the service. We are the highest church in the diocese and can be seen from miles around. Well worth a visit for the view.
