Description

A view of the rose window on the western façade of St John the Evangelist Anglican Church in Fremantle, Western Australia. Rose windows were popular decorative features in Romanesque and especially Gothic church architecture by the thirteenth century in England and Europe.

Located in King’s Square in the centre of Fremantle, St John the Evangelist Anglican Church is a neo-gothic limestone church that was designed by W. Smith and constructed by J. J. Harwood and Son. The foundation stone was laid in 1878 and the building was consecrated in 1882. The church replaced an older building that had served the Anglican congregation in Fremantle since 1843.
