Celebrating Hackney’s past, shaping its future – since 1967

St John at Hackney: The story of a Church

(Out of print, download only)

David Mander

A sturdy brown temple with a tower floating over it – or ‘the ugliest church in Christendom, save one’, St John-at-Hackney was consecrated in 1797 and has attracted praise and criticism ever since.

This book traces the history of the present church, and the original St John’s church which it replaced, and includes a visitors’ guide to the building and its monuments.
