Introduction
St John the Evangelist is the old parish church of Coulsdon, a village recorded from Saxon times. The present building is essentially late-13th-century with a 15th-century tower. The graveyard has been enlarged a number of times, and now has a garden of remembrance but is closed for burials. An ancient yew and a great chestnut tree were once found in the churchyard. The lych-gate dates from 1910.
