Summary
[edit].jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | St. John's Anglican Cathedral - Parramatta, New South Wales. The first church was erected on this site in 1803. It is the oldest continual place of worship in Australia. Until 1809 it was the only church in the colony. In 1819, at the suggestion of his wife Elizabeth, Governor Macquarie had the twin towers constructed, modeled on the twin towers of St Mary's Church, Reculver, England. In 1851 the old church was demolished and replaced by a larger building designed by James Houison, but retaining the twin towers from the earlier church. The transepts were added by Edmund Blackett in 1882. The nearby St John's Cemetery is the oldest survivng European burial ground in Australia, with the first internment on January 31st, 1790. |
