A guided tour of the church building
You are invited to follow this guided tour of St John's Church to discover some of the notable items both inside and outside the building. We hope you will enjoy looking around this historic building.
History
Bretherick's Life and Times
Bretherick's Life and Times is the most definitive record of the events which led to the building of St John's Church in Farsley, detailing events throughout its first 150 years serving the local community. My hope now is that more people who have never had a chance to read Bretherick's booklet will be able to enjoy it in this new online format.
Stained glass windows
The most famous stained glass windows in St John's Church are the Marsden Memorial Windows which were installed in recognition of Samuel Marsden who was a highly influential figure in the woollen industry in West Yorkshire and brought the first merino wool back from Australia.
