St John's Church[2] is the parish church of Essington in the South Staffordshire district of Staffordshire, England.[3] It is an active place of worship and is located on Wolverhampton Road. The church was built in 1932[4] on a three-acre site in the centre of the village of Essington, replacing the previous "Iron Church" built in 1859.[5] The church is a Grade A locally listed building, described as "a fine example of inter-war architecture [which] shows an exuberant use of brick".[6]
