The Anglican Church of St John The Evangelist

Laura

Today we celebrate the 135th anniversary of the material building of St. John's Church in Laura - the first Church of England (now Anglican Church) services having been held initially in 1873 in Laura's first stone building - the Laura Hotel, now the Laura Soap Shoppe - and subsequently in a private residence. The foundation stone of the present church was laid on 16th August, 1875, and in 1883 the chancel and the bell tower were added to the original building which is now the nave.
