The church was opened on 8/12/1861 but was not consecrated until 22/1/1888. A feature of St John's is the writings on the interior walls. These are very old and have been written in old English, probably when the church was built. It includes the Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes. Another feature are the beautiful stained glass windows. More historical information/photographs of the church/congregation are invited. Photographs uploaded 31/1/2014.
