SITE DETAILS

Fuller information:

St John the Evangelist Church was built to designs of Edwin Nash and J N Round; its gabled aisles were added in 1861 and the transepts in 1866. The Watermen's Company appointed its first vicar, the Revd Joseph Ridgeway and the church is located next to the Royal Waterman's and Lighterman's Almshouses, which John Dudin Brown was also instrumental in providing, now surviving as private housing and known as Waterman's Square (q.v.). The nearby almshouses of St John's Cottages (q.v.) were provided by John Dudin Brown's daughter and were also designed by Edwin Nash.
