St John's Anglican Church, New Town

City of Hobart, Australia · built 1835

St John's Anglican Church is an Anglican church located in New Town, Tasmania, Australia, notable for its unbroken record of use as a parish church, from the first service on 20 December 1835 to the present day. The parish is administered by the Anglican Diocese of Tasmania. The building was designed by the Tasmanian government civil engineer and architect, Dublin-born John Lee Archer, who had been appointed in 1826 and arrived in Hobart Town in August 1827. The church was built by labourers and tradespeople from amongst the convicts on the island. Since it is more than 180 years old, the church contains many features that reflect the life and times of Hobart as it developed in the 19th and 20th centuries.
