The Church of St. John the Evangelist '...is situated in an open space of ground on the South Parade, having a new street at the west end in a line with Duke-street. The design includes a tower and spire, upwards of 200 ft. high, and it is especially remarkable for the multitude of gables. Taking the north side, we have first the gable of the baptistery, next the gable of the porch, then the three gabled bays of the north aisle, and then the large gable of the transept, with its magnificent circular window. Beyond this are two gables on the side of the Ladye Chapel, and over them the gabled windows of the chancel. The west front has the tower in the centre, with the baptistery and chapel of St. Benedict at the sides. The west entrance is surmounted by the crocketed gable exhibiting some beautiful carvings in the spandril...The architect of the building is Mr. C. F. Hansom, of Clifton, Bristol; the contractors are Messrs. Bladwell and Ambrose.
