A Roman Catholic Church in Lansdowne, St John's Church is the only running Church in Lansdowne. Located on Mall Road, between the way to St Mary Church, St John's Church was established in 1936. Beautiful interiors and a serene atmosphere make it a must-visit place in Lansdowne.

Located a few steps from the main road to Tip N Top, St John's Church is the only working Church in Lansdowne. After 1947, St John's Church was kept abandoned for years. In 1951, it was eventually handed over to the Government of India 1951. Re-erected in 1983, now daily prayers are being offered at St John Church.

History

The foundation stone of this church was laid by Bishop Daniel Wilson of Calcutta (now Kolkata) in the year 1844 and is named after him. As the legend goes, Bishop Wilson had to stay in an unfinished cottage at the corner of the adjacent forest during his visit due to his illness. Hence, the church got the name St. John in the Wilderness Church as the bishop had to live in the wilderness of the forest for a long time. The famous hunter and naturalist Jim Corbett was a strong follower of this church and used to come for prayers regularly.
