Description

The Church of St John, built in 1872 by architect A J Phelps, is located in Kingston-upon-Thames on Grove Lane. The church is constructed of squared ragstone and features tiled roofs at the eaves. It showcases an Early English style with plate tracery windows. The layout includes a four-bay nave with aisles, transepts, a chancel, and an apsidal-ended sanctuary. There is a south western porch, and the church does not have a clerestory. A squat tower with an octagonal turret, designed in a matching style, was added to the southeast in 1936.

Church of St John sits in a drier-than-average part of the UK, with an average of 720 mm of rain a year. This makes it drier than 83% of listed buildings in the UK. Its exposure to wind-driven rain is lower than that of 78% of listed buildings.

It experiences an average of 32 freeze-thaw cycles a year, fewer than 59% of listed buildings. Of these, 14 follow at least 1 mm of rain in the preceding 48 hours. Average temperatures at this location have risen by 0.3°C per decade since 1991.
