(Closed for 2020 tours on April 13-20) All are welcome to Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday services. This Gothic Revival church, consecrated in 1853, showcases several stained-glass windows, of which six were made by Moore & Co. and installed in 1886. If you visit Madison Square around 1 p.m., you will be charmed by St. John’s chimes, which number over 50 bells and play a variety of classic hymns. The Episcopal congregation is one of just a handful who worships from the 1928 Book of Common Prayer. Daily services at 8: 15 am & 5:30 pm in St. Mary's Chapel (at the back of the church); each Sunday at 8 am, 9 am, 11 am and 12:15 pm; on holidays at 8:30 am, 9:30 am (Chapel), and 11 am. If you plan to tour St. John's, allow time to tour our adjacent parish house --The Green-Meldrim House. It is the home where General Sherman stayed during the Federal occupation of Savannah in 1864. It is also one of the finest examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the South.
