St. John's Church, Loughton, Essex



 


Notes:
last resting place of Thomas Willingale, the Lopper.



The parish church of ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST was consecrated in November 1846. (fn. 85) It was built in Blind (now Church) Lane near the junction with the main road, on land most of which had previously been held by Samuel Brawn, the Baptist minister, copyhold of the manor of Loughton. (fn. 86) The new church was much nearer the village than St. Nicholas', but the people of south Loughton had still to travel ½ mile or more to the church, mostly up hill. The total cost of St. John's, including furnishings, was slightly less than £6,500. The rector gave £1,134, Mrs. Pearse £700 Mrs. Powell £650, and there were many other substantial voluntary contributions. By 1848 a total of £5,850 had been raised, of which £1,000 came from a church rate. The balance required was met by an Exchequer Loan, which was finally paid off in 1866.

The church is a yellow brick building in 'Norman' style, consisting of nave, chancel, transepts, north porch, and central tower. The architect was Sydney Smirke (1798-1877), brother of Sir Robert Smirke (1781-1867). (fn. 87) He originally submitted three alternative designs, one 'Norman' and two 'Early English'. Between 1875 and 1878 the chancel was enlarged at a total cost of about £1,600. The church was slightly damaged by bombing during the Second World War.

There are eight bells, all of which were installed between 1866 and 1874. The fifth bell was recast from two of the bells of St. Nicholas' church, which had been dated 1621 and 1655. The old church plate was destroyed when Loughton Hall was burnt down. It consisted of a silver cup, silver paten, plated flagon, and plated dish. A silver almsdish of 1848 formerly in the church was stolen in 1930. The present plate includes many vessels, of which the oldest are of 1836. (fn. 88) The parish chest, now kept in the south transept, probably dates from about 1607. (fn. 89) It is remarkable for the geometrical patterns incised on the three front panels.

St. John's parish hall was built in 1914-15 at a cost of £808. It adjoins the church to the west.
