St John the Baptist

Welcome to the webpage of St John the Baptist, our community Church and Hall in the Brockley Whins area of the town.

St John the Baptist Church, or SJB as most people refer to it, was built as a dual purpose Church and Hall in the 1950s. In the late 1980s a new church was built onto the side of the existing hall.

The Church serves the estate in which it is set, and following current improvements, community use is set to expand even further.

There are several community groups using the hall - these range from WeightWatchers to Brownies, Study Groups, a ladies' fellowship, church events and fayres, coffee mornings, etc.
