St. John's Church stands in Ward No. 45 of the Kolkata Municipal Corporation in India, at the north-western corner of Raj Bhavan. Built in the Neoclassical style, it was begun in 1784 and completed in 1787, modelled on St Martin-in-the-Fields in London. It served as the Anglican Cathedral of Calcutta until 1847, when the see moved to St. Paul's Cathedral, and it is designated a KMC Heritage Building Grade I and a Monument of National Importance.
