Welcome to the St John sub Castro Heritage website!

This website records the history of:

  • the church and its churchyard
  • the neighbourhood around it
  • the wider parish which it serves
  • the people who have been part of its story over the centuries

Here you can browse through our collection of local historical material, which includes photos, old documents and the memories of local people.

It is a new website, run by a small group of volunteers. Have you got anything interesting that you would like to add to the website? Find out more about us or get in touch.
