St John's Church, Barmouth, Gwynedd, Wales was built between 1889 and 1895 and designed by the Chester architects Douglas and Fordham.

During 1887 Hughes proposed the idea of building a larger place of worship to the Churchwardens and the Parochial Church Council.

Mrs Sarah Perrins and her family owned a holiday home in Barmouth called Plas Mynach and would have been aware of the need to build a larger church.

St John's took seven years to build between the laying of the foundation stone in 1889 by Princess Beatrice of Battenberg to its consecration in November 1895 by Bishop Cambell of Bangor.

There were some setbacks during the construction stages, most notably during the evening of September 11th 1891, on the same day that the local Catholic church, St Tudwal's was opened.

At some point during the evening the tower collapsed into the church destroying most of the un-slated roofs and most of the walls on the mountainside of the building.

Douglas and Fordham blamed the collapse on blasting operations behind the church that were aimed at allowing more light into the building.

The side windows of the Sanctuary show various scenes of the resurrection: Easter Morning, Woman at the Tomb, Christ with Doubting Thomas and the Charge to St Peter.

[3] Since it was installed in St Johns in 1895 the organ has not had a major overhaul and except for being cleaned in the 1970s and undergoing annual tuning and maintenance the only modification has been to incorporate a "Discus" electric blower system by Watkins and Watson in the basement sometime in the 1950s.
