Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

Saint John's parish was the first district parish created in the parish of Islington. It was formed in 1830 and served a wide area until the establishment of 14 daughter churches. The Church was consecrated on 2 July 1828. It was designed by Charles Barry in the Perpendicular style. The site was donated by the Corporation for Orphans of Clergymen. It was united with Saint Peter's Church, Dartmouth Park Hill in 1978 to become the parish of Saint Peter with Saint John, Upper Holloway.
