Funds were raised by public subscription and a grant was also received from the Bath and Wells Diocesan Church Building Association.

[6] The completed church cost approximately £1,000 to build and was consecrated by the Bishop of Bath and Wells, the Right Rev.

[8] Fundraising began in 1896 for the restoration and reseating of the church, with the plans drawn up by the Diocesan architect Edward Buckle.

[14] St John's was restored in 1963, with the work being carried out by Mr. James A. Pope of Wells for an approximate cost of £500.

As part of the project, new communion rails were installed in memory of Mr. Frederick Arthurs, a former churchwarden and postmaster at Horrington.

[15] In 1975, the parish of Horrington was united with Wells St. Thomas, resulting in St John's being declared redundant by the Church of England on 1 December 1975.

A partial conversion had taken place by this time, with the installation of a shower room, airing cupboard and kitchen.

[21] St John's is built of local coursed and squared rubble stone, with slate roofs.
