Kirkby Woodhouse - St. John the Evangelist

St John the Evangelist (59 Skegby Road, Annesley Woodhouse, Kirkby in Ashfield NG17 9JE) is the parish church of Kirkby Woodhouse. The church was originally a daughter church of St Wilfrid Kirkby-in-Ashfield and built to minister to the growing population of Kirkby-in-Ashfield. The original building was erected in 1860 but replaced by a new building on Skegby Road in 1906; the old church was later demolished. Three stained glass windows at the east end of the church were installed to commemorate those from the parish and congregation who died in the Great War and an oak board erected with their names. Dedication: 'To the Glory of God and in grateful memory of the fallen from this parish in the Great War 1914-1918'.
