St John the Evangelist Church at Countisbury is a sister church to St John The Baptist at Lynmouth. Both churches are part of the Lyn Valley Mission Community Group of Churches. St John the Evangelist is a beautiful country church and each year we hold a series of evening "Epilogue Services" which are enjoyed by locals and visitors alike. These take place on a Sunday Evening at 8.30pm during the end of June, July and August.
