Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

The church of Saint John the Baptist originated in the Kentish Town Chapel, which moved to Highgate Road in 1784. The building was designed by James Wyatt in a neo-classical style. Enlargement of the building was needed in 1817 and then in 1843-45. The church was assigned a separate parish in 1868. By this date it was known as Saint John the Baptist, although it was never officially dedicated. The church was declared redundant in 1993 and is now used by the Christ Apostolic Church.
