St John The Evangelist
Scottish Episcopal Church
A congregation in Wick for the Scottish Episcopal Church was formed in 1855. A church building for the congregation was designed by architect Alexander Ross and it’s construction began in 1868 and was finished two years later in 1870. The interior of the building underwent refurbishment work as the alcove walls at the altar of the church were tiled and during refurshment works they were removed as well as the choir pews. It became a B-listed building in 1997 and has seating for a total of one hundred and ten people. Within the church there is pipe organ by Harrison of Durham and the surroundimg garden kept and looked after by members of the church.

Visitors to St John's are mostly amazed by the stained glass windows in the Church as they have most impressive detail on them. This Kirk is well known for attracting people who belong to England as St John's Church is most like the Episcopal Churches in the south of the country.
