Description
St John's Anglican Church, also known as St John the Evangelist Anglican Church, is a church on York Street in Albany in Western Australia. The church is the oldest in Western Australia
The church is a stone building with gabled roofs covered in shingles. The aisle of the church is made from 22-centimetre (9 in) thick blocks that had been made in England The stone walls are 540 millimetres (21 in) thick and the building also has stone foundations; the stone was thought to be quarried from nearby Mount Melville and Mount Clarence. The walls are so thick that no buttresses are required.
The original building is now the nave of the present church, with the gallery behind built in 1852. The tower and porch were completed in 1853. The tower is topped with battlements on the parapet. The church was built by the people of the town, with construction commencing in 1841 and completed in 1844. The church was consecrated on 25 October 1848 by Bishop Augustus Short of Adelaide who introduced John Ramsden Wollaston as its clergyman. At this time the church would have been able to accommodate the entire population of the town, 170 people.
The first recorded Anzac dawn service was held by the church in 1930.
