Dear Monument Australia visitors, we are a self-funded, non-profit organisation, dedicated to recording monuments throughout Australia. Over time the costs of maintaining this website have risen substantially (in fact they are probably larger than those of many companies who exist for profit). In the past we have borne all the costs associated with maintaining the website but we are now having difficulties in paying the monthly expenses.
If Monument Australia is useful to you, please make a donation to keep this historical and educational resource available. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Pioneer Women of St Mark`sPrint Page 
The communion table commemorates the pioneer women of St Mark`s Church.
The communion table of Tasmanian blackwood was made in a Launceston factory for St. Mark's Church of Deloraine. The logs were cut in 1939. and the wood was prepared at Coogan's factory, Invermay, where all the work on the table was carried out. It matches other wood work in the church. The designer was Mr. J. Leonard; Mr. O. Poxon was cabinet-maker, Mr. H. Campbell did the turning, and the polishing was carried out by Mr. R. Fitzpatrick.
The work occupied two months. It will be taken to Deloraine next week, the communion table will be dedicated next month by the Vicar-General (Archdeacon H B. Atkinson), who is deputising for the Bishop of Tasmania (Rt. Rev. G. F. Cranswick). Funds for the purchase were raised the Women's Guild in memory of pioneer women of St. Mark's Church.
