Old St John's Church, Coleford

Coleford, Old St John's Church


This isolated tower, now in the middle of a roundabout is all that remains of the first church of St John designed by Richard James and built in 1821. The body of the church was octagonal, but was demolished in 1882, after the new church of St John was built.
