Description

Consecrated and renamed St James Anglican Church in 1926, this building is in Franklin Village, Tasmania, was originally known as Franklin Village Chapel and is on what used to be the main road between Hobart and Launceston. The rendered brick chapel was opened in 1845 by Tasmania’s first bishop, Francis Nixon, and it operated as a school from 1847. The modest building is in the Gothic Revival style and features a bellcote and pointed-arch windows. Franklin Village is now virtually an outer suburb of Launceston.
