Detail InformationEdit

The Church of St John the Baptist, Hoxton, usually known as St John’s Hoxton, is an urban Anglican church in Hoxton, Hackney, a host borough of London 2012. Nearby the church is Silicon Roundabout and Aske Gardens, named after one of the patron’s major benefactors, Robert Aske.
Completed in 1826, St John’s is the only church built to the design of Francis Edwards, one of Sir John Soane’s foremost pupils. A Georgian building in the Classical style, the church is a large example of a Commissioners’ church, retaining its floor plan intact as well as its galleries. The church’s décor is notable. It was executed by the prominent architect Joseph Arthur Reeve in the early 20th century.
In Victorian London the parish’s work was recognised by social campaigners, such as the philanthropist Charles Booth, for its welfare work in a deteriorating inner-city environment. To give opportunities to the “local poor”, the first vicar founded what became London’s largest savings bank and St John’s National Schools which still thrive. One of the 18th century residents of Hoxton Square, the Reverend John Newton, composed the popular hymn “Amazing Grace”.
