Introduction
New Barnet Congregational Church was formed in 1869 (see NR15/2/7) and the chapel was built in 1870 (see NR15/7/1), with 440 sittings. The church also possessed a Congregational Hall in Station Rd. A Congregational School was formed in 1872 and in the same year the first trust deed for the church was created.
Plantagenet Hall, which was used for all kinds of activities, including music and dancing was built in 1909 to plans by Alfred Conder ARIBA (see NR15/7/9).
The church was altered on several occasions. In 1963 the Congregational Church merged with St Augustine's Presbyterian Church of England Church. This church had been formed in 1874 in Somerset Rd with 280 sittings.
The church then became known as St Johns and moved to new premises built in 1967 on Somerset Rd and Plantagenet Rd. The building had been designed in 1964 by J. Finlayson and I. Langlands.
In 1972 St John's Church became known as St John's United Reformed Church and continued to meet in the buildings in Somerset Rd.
