HISTORY

St John’s is a Grade II listed simple early mid-gothic building. Originally built as a parish church in its own right in 1855, it has been a part of the parish of Plymstock and Hooe since 2006. The church is built from local limestone rubble with limestone dressings and forms part of a complex with the church hall, which was added in 1986 and Church House, which is now privately owned. The main church building has a double bell turret housing two bells located at the West end of the roof. St John’s has a large, closed churchyard, which has a large area dedicated to Commonwealth graves.
