Floor-plan-prior-to-1980s Floor plan of St. John's Church prior to 1980s when a west gallery was built above a new glassed-in narthex which doubles as a creche, allowing parents to see and hear the service without the noise of children disturbing the congregation.
1950-ca-Sunday-School-and-vergers-cottage 1950 ca view of Sunday School and verger's cottage. Date based on the row of Austin A40 sedans. Parked there by a dealership? Rental company? The cottage was demolished and replaced by a 2-storey brick house (in the 1950s by the looks of the design), still referred to as "the cottage" as late as the early 2000s, when it was the "curate's cottage". Photo source unknown.
1938-demolition-and-rebuilding-of-nave-5 1937 rebuilding of north wall of nave, encasing the old 1824 within the new brick facing. Evidently, the remnants of the old galleries have been left in place during this stage of construction, perhaps to act as scaffolding.
1938-demolition-and-rebuilding-of-nave-4 1937 rebuilding of south wall of nave (rectory chimney top can be seen), encasing the old 1824 within the new brick facing. Remnants of the old galleries can clearly be seen during this stage of construction,likely to act as scaffolding.
1938-demolition-and-rebuilding-of-nave-7 1937 rebuilding of north wall of nave, encasing the old 1824 within the new brick facing. View from NW Sandstone window frames are rising above the scaffolding. This view clearly shows the brickwork of the earlier walls surrounding the newly laid brick arches. In the north and south ambulatories, this surface was rendered and painted, whereas the surfaces facing the centre of nave were faced over with new, oxide coated and white pointed, brickwork.
1938-demolition-and-rebuilding-of-nave-2 1937 rebuilding of north wall of nave, encasing the old 1824 within the new brick facing. View from NE Sandstone window frames are rising above the scaffolding. Note that sapling timber, lashed together with rope, forms the scaffold.
1938-demolition-and-rebuilding-of-nave-6 1937 rebuilding of south wall of nave, encasing the old 1824 within the new brick facing. This view clearly shows the unity between the present interior arched wall, and the remnant of the western end which is still visible today.
1938-demolition-and-rebuilding-of-nave-3 1937 rebuilding of north wall of nave, encasing the old 1824 within the new brick facing. View from NW Sandstone window frames are rising above the scaffolding. This view clearly shows the brickwork of the earlier walls surrounding the newly laid brick arches.

1939-ca-Gordon-Cumming-carving-work Gordon Cumming at work with his amazing stucco carving. Looking at the photograph of the congregation during the consecration of the nave in November 1938, the columns can be seen without this decorative feature, suggesting that this photo may be later than that date.
1938-demolition-and-rebuilding-of-nave-1 1937 rebuilding of north wall of nave, encasing the old 1824 within the new brick facing. Corrugated iron sheeting has been used to close off the arch to the transept.
