St John’s Sandymount: our educational and cultural heritage 
 
Since its foundation  by the Hon Sidney Herbert in 1850,  St John’s, together with its associated  Parochial Hall and the nearby order of religious sisters of St John the Evangelist, has been to the forefront in promoting and supporting  learning in many fields, including religious thought, history, theatre, music, art, crafts and much more. Whether by facilitating the spread of culture and learning through its own events, or in collaboration with local groups, or through the many distinguished clergy, teachers, artists, performers, writers and musicians who have  been associated with the church, the educational and cultural heritage of St John’s provides a rich  tapestry.  
Using the records of St John’s and newspapers of the time, we trace and present a selection of individuals, organizations and events that contributed to the church’s religious, educational and cultural life.
Walk with us on this journey to meet some interesting people and to learn about the thriving cultural and educational heritage of this small corner at the edge of Sandymount down the years.
