This Geocache brings you to the Maindee area of the City of Newport. The parish church of St John the Evangelist is situated on the junction of St John’s Road and Kensington Place.
There is parking on the roadside around the church however it is best to avoid school in/out times and church services
The church was built between 1859–60 by Prichard and Seddon of Llandaff. The tower was completed in 1911 by John Coates Carter. The church was devastated by bomb damage in 1941. The church interior was reconstructed between 1951 and 1952, after an arson attack on November 11, 1949. It was reopened by the Bishop of Monmouth on September 18, 1952.
