Earlier church

The first Anglican church in York was built in 1840 by Peter Barrow, on his property in Avon Terrace and consecrated in 1848. It was dedicated to St John. Being made of mud brick and in disrepair, the first building was demolished. A replacement was built at the same site and dedicated in 1861.Шаблон:Efn

New glebe lands were granted to the parish on the east side of the river in 1849 and a parsonage was built in 1852.

The Holy Trinity church, on the other side of the Avon River was constructed in 1854, and both churches were operating and maintained until 1905 when the second Saint Johns was moved to the Holy Trinity site and became the parish hall.

Construction

The architect was Richard Roach Jewell. The church "was built in the style of the latter part of the 11th century", that is, in Norman style, or Victorian Romanesque.Шаблон:Efn The church was designed to have a "lofty spire" above the tower and to accommodate 250 people.

The foundation stone for the church was laid on 25 October 1854 by Mrs Fitzgerald, the wife of the Governor, Captain Charles Fitzgerald.

Tenders were called between November 1854 and March 1855 for lime, brickwork, "roofing, weather-boarding and shingling", and doors and seats. Construction cost was 1,100 pounds. The tenders for lime were to be submitted to S A Barter of Guildford or John Henry Monger Snr of York.Шаблон:Efn
