St John's Anglican Church (officially St John the Evangelist Anglican Church) is an Anglican church located in the town of Bannockburn, Victoria, Australia. The church serves the Anglican community of the town and forms part of the Parish of Inverleigh-Bannockburn-Meredith, within the Anglican Diocese of Melbourne.[1][2]
History
Tenders for the construction of a timber church with a wood-paling roof were called on 13 July 1878, with the church opening later that year by the Reverend Robert Shackleton.[3]
In 1905, the building was extended with the addition of a chancel, vestry and stained-glass windows. Structural alterations were carried out in 1959 when buttresses were added after movement in the church walls was observed during a service.[1]
The church bell was later transferred from St John's Anglican Church, Geelong West, after that church closed.[1]
Adjacent to the church on the church grounds is an opportunity shop.[4]
