St. John's Church is a Victorian Gothic building completed in 1881, designed by Henry Currle. It serves as the parish church for Buxton, and is notable for its impressive architecture including a prominent spire and intricate internal detailing. The church’s acoustics are considered particularly well-suited to musical performances due to its size and design; it regularly hosts concerts featuring a variety of ensembles and soloists. Built on the site of earlier chapels dating back to the medieval period, St John’s plays an important role within the cultural landscape of Buxton and the Peak District. The building underwent significant restoration work in the late 20th century to preserve its historical features.
