St John the Evangelist in Sandymount is a unique
church. Situated on an island at the top of St John’s
Road, it was an estate church built on private land
by the Honourable Sidney Herbert in 1850. It is
governed by a Deed of Endowment and managed
by a board of trustees.
Having survived suspicion, false accusations and
violent disorder, the church now is a calm and
inclusive community to which all denominations
are welcome. Today, it enjoys its position as
a respected member of the greater Christian
community.
175 years later, St John’s still stands proud on its
little island in the middle of the road.
