St John the Evangelist

St John's church in Purton was the result of an appeal to serve the local communities of Purton, Halmore, Hinton, Brookend and Sharpness, launched in October 1873. Just over a year later the church was opened in November 1874, the build had cost the sum of £722. In more recent years, there has been the addition of some quite outstanding stained glass windows over the altar.
