St John the Evangelist church

church building Australia
St John's Church, the second church within the St John's complex, was built in 1900 to the design of architects McCrae and O'Toole. It is an idiosyncratic interpretation of the Romanesque style, built in red brick. The main facade is asymmetrical and incorporates a 10 metre high Celtic cross, pressed terracotta panels in the gable with representation of the stars of the Southern Cross, and a 26 metre high round tower with conical roof. The cross is of Stawell stone and weighs 21 tons. It portrays the head of Christ at its centre, surrounded by the four evangelists in full-relief. Below are full-length bas-relief portraits of St John and St Patrick. The remainder of the cross is carved with Celtic runes. The designer of the cross is not known.
