History
St. John's Church, Colston Bassett was erected in 1892 by the architect Arthur Brewill[2] at the behest of Robert Millington Knowles, High Sheriff of Nottinghamshire.[1] However, the construction was of poor quality and the church needed substantial restoration. This was undertaken in 1934 by Charles Marriott Oldrid Scott. The Bishop of Southwell Rt. Revd Henry Mosley re-opened the repaired building on 12 August 1936, at the same time as he instituted the new vicar, the Rev. John Booth
