ASAC C2B (open shelved item)

There is no evidence of visitor books earlier than 1916. In the early volume, the details consisted of date, name of visitor and address - full or partial. The most recent volume included a “comments” column, with many expressions of appreciation of the beauty of the building, or in some cases, family connections from the past.

While not as significant as some of our other documents, the visitor books give an indication that St. John's was a point of interest to visitors to Launceston - those with church or family connections, and those who wanted to look at the beautiful interior.
