People from many parts of the world contact us when tracing family history. In fact, all of our registers for baptisms, weddings and (up to the closure of the churchyard for burials in 1859) funerals are to be found at the County record Office and not at the church. We only have the current registers here and are unable to supply any information relating to more than about three or four years back.

We are always very interested to welcome people whose forebears have lived in St John's or worshipped in the church, and it's a pleasure to meet a wide range of people through that connection. If you're in the area researching your roots do pay us a visit.
