Old St John's Buildings

Old St John's Buildings, built in 1853 by G.E. Street, was originally the mission church of St John in Moordown. It has since been converted into a builder's merchants but still retains its recognizable features. The building has a single-pitched roof with a timber bellcote on the ridge, which was reconstructed around 1950 to match the original design. The roof tiles have been replaced with builders' samples. The walls are made of grey-buff brick and feature trefoiled lancets, either single or grouped, with whitewashed stone dressings. The west wall includes two trefoiled lancets and a sexfoil in a circle beneath a hoodmould, with an attached chimney to the north. The sexfoil contains a notably fine stained glass medallion depicting the beheading of St John, likely designed by Street himself.

The interior has been completely subdivided, although the canted principals of the roof can still be traced. The east end was later extended and is tile-hung. An attached school to the south has been demolished.
