St John's Church, part of the Anglican Diocese of Newcastle, is a 13th-century church on the corner of Grainger Street and Westgate Road in Newcastle upon Tyne, England, dedicated to St John the Baptist. The old church of St. John is believed to date from ca. 1287. It has a low square time-worn tower, standing amongst green trees in the graveyard. The church's quiet simplicity contrasts with the modern buildings which surround and overtop it on three sides. Its tower is low and square, with little pinnacles at the corners; its windows have flattened arched tops, far from elegant in design but there is something about it which makes it pleasing. Perhaps it recalls to mind some little country church, and that its aspect is suggestive of green trees and sunny pastures, amongst all the turmoil and bustle of the busy streets which run past it.
