The marble tablet commemorates Reverend Thomas Stansfield, minister of the church from 1859 to 1877.
Note: St John`s Church was deconsecrated in August 2014. Friends of St Johns Franklin Inc.is a not for profit group that was formed in 2015. The current most important aim of the group, is to negotiate with the Anglican Diocese of Tasmania - which owns the property- and work towards keeping St John's Church and cemetery in community ownership. The property was donated to the people of Franklin, by Lady Jane Franklin, and the church was built in 1864 with money raised by pioneer settlers. Many of the headstones in the cemetery date back to the mid 1800s.
