Description / Background

St John's Anglican Church contains two First World War memorials: a timber altar located at the eastern end of the church and a timber and brass honour roll located at the western end. 

The memorial altar features three panels at the front containing carved Gothic arches framed by carved columns. The top of the altar is inscribed with the phrase 'This do in remembrance of me' with a small brass dedication plaque to the men of the parish who gave their lives in the First World War positioned at the foot of the altar. 

The timber honour roll is topped with a Gothic shaped pediment containing a raised timber Latin Cross with a timber shelf at the bottom of the board. A brass honour plaque containing the dedication and names of 31 members of the parish who died in conflict in the First World War is positioned in the centre of the timber board.

To date the dedication date has not been determined.
