CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The church of Saint John, Northfields, Ealing, was founded in 1865 as a mission church of Christ Church, Ealing. A district was assigned in 1876, taken from the parishes of Christ Church and Saint Mary's. The Bishop of London is patron of the parish. Temporary buildings were used until a permanent church was constructed in 1876 on the corner of Mattock Lane and Broomfield Place. The church was designed by E H Horne in a Gothic style. The church had to be repaired in 1923 after a fire and again in 1928 after a lightning strike. A mission hall was situated on the corner of Northfield Avenue and Dudley Gardens from 1901.
