The entry for this parish in the Victoria County History (York, 1961) notes: "The church of St. John, Ouse Bridge End, was included in the papal confirmation of minster properties of 1194 [...] The church was restored between 1850 and 1851 [...] The church was closed in 1939 and the furnishings removed [...] The font, organ, and choir stalls went to St. Hilda's".
