Heritage Open Day: Join us at St John’s, Upper Hopton, as we celebrate 25 years of the stunning Millennium Window - designed and painted by local artists, Anne and Vince Seabourne, and the exciting heritage tower repair project, partly completed last year. St. John the Evangelist, consecrated in 1846, is an attractive mock Gothic church designed by Bonomi and Cory, is at the heart of the village of Upper Hopton, and stands next to a late Jacobean manor house, Hopton Hall.
The Chancel, remains much as it was when designed in 1846. The screen separating the chancel from the nave was part of the original structure, though the Rood and Christus, were added in 1951. The choir stalls are the original ones designed by Bonomi and Cory. The floor tiles are probably Minton, and are dated 1844.
