It was founded in 1830.
The Church was designed in 1841 by Patrick Wilson but very soon afterwards remodelled by Thomas Mackenzie in the Italian style, with its rose window, three - arch loggia at ground level and its impressive four-storey Tuscan Campanile.
St John's Episcopal Church is located alongside the busy Victoria Road in Forres, which turns into High Street a short distance to the west. The church is just east of the town centre and across the road is the large Grant Park, a public park with large areas of grassland, recreational facilities and woodland. St John's was initially built in the 1830s, but only a few years later was completely altered inside and out to fashion it into an Italian-style church, apparently inspired by its first Rector who visited Florence and sketched a church there and wanted his church to match it.
