History

In 1809, the Enclosure Act decreed that there be a church built on Gateshead Fell and an acre of land was set aside for that purpose.^[5] A grant of £1,000 ({{Inflation|UK|1000|1824|r=-4|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}){{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}} was given towards its construction by the Church Building Commission.^[3] Designed by John Ions,^[2] the foundation stone was laid by Rev. John Collinson, at a "lofty eminence" on Sour Milk Hill, on 13 May 1824.^[5] Building continued into the next year and the church was consecrated on 30 August 1825.^[5] The total cost was £2,742 ({{Inflation|UK|2742|1824|r=-4|fmt=eq|cursign=£}}).{{Inflation-fn|UK|df=y}}^[6] In the 1990s alterations were carried out at the rear of the church to create meeting rooms, toilets, and a kitchen.^[4]

Architecture

St John's is constructed in ashlar stone with a Welsh slate roof. Its architectural style is Gothic Revival. The plan of the church consists of a nave, a short chancel, and a west tower with a spire. The tower also has diagonal buttresses and an embattled parapet. The windows along the sides of the church are lancets.^[2] The two-manual organ was made by Harrison and Harrison. It replaced an organ made in about 1929 by Blackett and Howden, and was installed in 2000. The organ was formerly in St Aidan's Church, Blackhill, Consett.^[7]
