Belfast is now called Port Fairy.
The iconic St John’s Anglican Church, surrounded by lawns and the original stone wall, was built in 1856, to replace the smaller, wooden one, then in Sackville Street.
The driving force behind the ‘new’ church was the first Vicar, Dr Braime, a wealthy, highly educated and adventurous Englishman. The gallery was added in 1902, the organ in 1908 and the reredos in several stages, being completed in the 1920s. The tower was built during the wool boom in 1952.
The church has held continuous worship from the day it was built to the present.
