Historical Details
From very early in the history of St. John's Church, there were groups and organisations for particular religious or benevolent purposes associated with St. John's. Some were St. John's branches of wider movements or organisations, and some are interdenominational or community organisations in which St. John's people participated.
In some cases, the records are "orphans" - likely part of a much larger set, possibly held at other repositories, some perhaps still to be discovered at our archive centre, and some likely discarded and lost.
