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.
Sir Patrick Alfred Jennings Print Page 
A stained glass window erected at St John's College commemorates Sir Patrick Alfred Jennings.
Sir Patrick Alfred Jennings KCMG (20 March 1831 – 11 July 1897) was an Irish-Australian politician and Premier of New South Wales.
He was the first practising Catholic premier of New South Wales and the only non-Labor one. His comment that he was not 'a prominent politician' undervalued his importance as he had been offered ministerial office early in 1870 and twice later.
He was a fellow of St John's College within the University of Sydney in 1868-72 and 1874-91 and his 'princely liberality' enabled his friend, Archbishop Vaughan, to open a library there. Jennings's generous gifts are commemorated by a stained-glass window with his family crest.
