St John the Baptist, Kentish Town
St John the Baptist, now the Christ Apostolic Church, is a grade II listed building at 23 Highgate Road, Kentish Town, London.[1]
The site was originally the location of an ancient chapel-of-ease which was replaced in 1783 with a church designed by the architect James Wyatt.[1][2]
That church was in turn substantially rebuilt in 1843-45 by James Hakewill although the nave walls and apse of the original church were reused in the new church. The church became redundant in 1993 and was used for all-night raves[2] but more recently it has been taken over by the Christ Apostolic Church UK and is used as a place or worship once more.
The church is on Historic England's Heritage at Risk register.[3]
