St. John the Evangelist's Church, Aldercar

 


St. John the Evangelist's Church, Aldercar, is an active Anglican parish church in the Diocese of Derby. It is located on Cromford Road in the village of Aldercar, Derbyshire, England. The church is a Grade II listed building.

The history of St. John's Church can be traced back to the 18th century. In 1780, a chapel of ease was built in Aldercar to serve the growing population of the village. The chapel was dedicated to St. John the Evangelist. In 1868, the chapel was enlarged and rebuilt to become a full-sized church. The new church was designed by the architect John Shaw, Jr., and it was consecrated in 1871.
