62nd Anniversary of St John`s Anglican ChurchPrint Page 
Two trees planted by Lady Gowrie commemorate the 62nd anniversary of St John`s Anglican Church.
St John's Anglican Parish was established in 1882. The original building, which was licensed for use on 16th June 1882, extended to the present chancel steps and cost ₤1,200. The idea of adding classrooms to the building for a school was abandoned when state aid was withdrawn from denominational schools from the end of 1882.
Lady Gowrie planted a tree in the grounds of the Church of St. John the Evangelist, Balmain North, yesterday to mark its 62nd anniversary. A second tree was planted by her for Lord Gowrie, who was unable to attend.
