Built by P. Jenkins in 1897 as St John’s Congregational Church, Bexhill’s second place of worship, designed by the accomplished architect Henry Ward (see St. Stephen's) in the Free Perpendicular style.
The finely crafted façade on London Road has a polygonal tower (which has sadly lost its slender original spire) and polygonal turret at each corner framing the tall arched east window. The entrance is flanked by buttresses with a pronounced batter (angle).
