The church was built between 1897 and 1898 to a design by Douglas and Fordham at a cost of over £5,000 (£410 thousand as of 2010)
. It was initially a chapel of ease to Runcorn parish church. In order to raise funds to build the church, its choirboys wrote thousands of letters to choristers and choirboys of churches and cathedrals throughout the country. This initiative aroused the interest of many people, and over 5,000 donations were received from people in all walks of life. Because of this, it is sometimes known as "the choirboys' church". The tower was added in 1900 at a cost of approximately £700 (£60 thousand as of 2010). A clock costing about £60 made by J. B. Joyce of Whitchurch was added to the tower in 1901
. St John's became a separate parish in 1931
. In 1998 an automated winding system was added to the clock, also made by Messrs. Joyce, costing £3,250
