Description

The Church of St John the Evangelist is located in the city of Albany on the southern coast of Western Australia. Construction of the stone church began in 1840 and it was the first WA church to be consecrated (October 26, 1848). The proportions of the building and its relatively low bell tower suggests an inspiration from Anglo-Saxon churches (as noted in the Church welcome pamphlet), but the narrow pointed arched windows and arched entrance are Gothic (which is post-Anglo-Saxon) in style. The bell tower also features crenellation.
