The parish church of St. John the Divine was built in 1865 by the architect William White. It was constructed in ’rubble Wealden stone in the decorated style’; the stone used being quarried just half-mile away in Cooper’s Wood. Twentieth century experts generally regard the building itself as a very successful example of the Victorian Gothic style. The church is family orientated and has a large congregation including many children. It is the southernmost church in the Diocese of Southwark.
