In 1797 the Qualified congregation moved to Charlotte Chapel which was re-built on larger lines in 1811. They sold shares to fund a new church, the banker Sir William Forbes being the main figure, and Charlotte Chapel was then sold to the Baptists. Edward Bannerman Ramsay joined St John's as curate…

The plaster pendant fan vault ceiling is derived from that found in the Henry VII Chapel in Westminster Abbey. Stained glass is largely by Ballantine, but the east window is by William Raphael Eginton. The morning chapel was furnished by Walker Todd in 1935. An extension was added to the south-east corner in 2018.
