The Church of St John is a beautiful church in the heart of Watford dating back to 1873 when a temporary building was erected in what is now Sutton Road. The church as it is today was built in 1893, and has wonderful furnishings including a rood screen by the renowned architect and designer, Sir John Ninian Comper. There is a 1911 Walker organ which is still in use, and beautifully carved Stations of the Cross. There is an annual service of Carols by Candlelight and an archive of historical pictures. Visitors are most welcome.
