CONTEXT

Administrative/Biographical history:

Saint John's Church, a chapel of ease of Saint Mary, Putney (P95/MRY1), was consecrated in 1859. It was damaged by enemy action in 1944, but was reopened in September 1948. In September 1972, when parish activities were centred at Saint Mary's, Saint John's remained as a chapel of ease. After a fire at Saint Mary's in June 1973, this position was reversed, Saint John's becoming the parish Church. In May 1977 it was leased to the Polish Roman Catholic Church, and All Saints Lower Common (P95/ALL3), the other chapel of ease, took its place as parish Church.
