Saint John the Divine Church, Colston Bassett

We regularly attend St John's, we got married and held our daughter's christening here too. The church is really well run and immaculate. Worth a visit.

The church was dated as : 1892 it was built to add a new church to Colston Bassett after Saint Mary's church on New road was abandoned during the Plague. The original village was close to Saint Mary's at the time of Plague , it was decided to move the original village about a mile away from Saint Mary's. Stone and roofing materials ,were removed to provide materials for the .John the Devine church , a story goes that local residents , were very angry that Saint Mary's church was butchered for materials , they refused to use 'Saint Johns ' .
