St John the Baptist Church, or St John's, is a Church of England parish church in the town of Buckhurst Hill in Essex, England.

History

[edit]

The church was built in 1837 as a chapel of ease. The following year Buckhurst Hill was constituted a separate ecclesiastical district. At this time the area was part of the ancient parish of Chigwell. Buckhurst Hill did not become a separate parish until 1867.[3] In June 2017 the church celebrated its 180th anniversary.
