St John's, Margate, are delighted to welcome visitors to this historic church again this year as part of Heritage Open Days.
Open Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 12pm - 4pm
St John’s has been a place of worship since 1050. Points of interest include its Norman origins, a stone font dating from 1485, funeral hatchments bearing coats of arms, stained glass and a carved reredos. The young JMW Turner painted St John’s, and the gravestone of Mrs. Booth, his landlady, stands in the churchyard.
Come and share your memories and family connections with this community church, and find out how the current congregation are ensuring there is worship here for the next 1000 years
Saturday 14th - the church will welcome those taking part in the Kent sponsored Ride and Stride to raise money for their own church and the Kent Churches Trust.
Refreshments are available to buy in the pop up cafe in the church.
