History

After York was opened for selection in 1830, the first settlers, arrived in 1831 from the Swan River settlement with the task of establishing a Government Farm. Balladong Farm was settled in 1831 by William Heal, who took up a grant of 20ha of land as a reward for settling in the district. The Government farm was not a success and in 1832, Revett. H. Bland and Arthur Trimmer leased the farm for two sections: Trimmer to north and Bland to the south. In 1836 the Anglican Diocese of Australia was formed. In 1840 Peter Barow succeeded the government resident to conduct Church of England services in the barracks. It is likely that he influenced Bland who loaned the land on the corner of Avon Terrace for St John’s Church. In 1846 the church of and received a Crown grant of 3 acres as Glebe for the parsons use. In 1851 extra crown grant for the church- both sites separated by a road. In 1853 the parsonage was built for Mr and Mrs Edward Millett. In 1854 the church was constructed of local bricks, Governor Fitzgerald laid the foundation stone in 1855 and Bishop Hale consecrated in 1858. St John’s church was demolished in 1861. And new one built on the site. In 1874 land was granted for a Church of England in the General Cemetery Site (Mt Brown). St Johns cemetery closed in 1890. In 1893 the roof was raise don the church and chancel, vestry, and bell tower were added with the foundation stone by Mrs W Edwards of Hartleap. In 1898 the pipe organ came from London. In 1905, St Johns Church was deconstructed and rebuilt on the Holy Trinity site parallel with the church separated by several metres on the north side. Several alterations ongoing and in 1949 the church layout changed. In 1968 the belltower was damaged in the Meckering earthquake. In 1969 the top of the tower was demolished. In 1979/80 the tower was rebuilt to a height 3.5 metres more than original. In 1986 controversial windows were blessed and installed. Designed by artist Robert Juniper, the stained-glass windows depicted a modern interpretation. The Anglican Archbishop Dr Peter Carnley conducted the service. The original windows were donated by Mrs Jane Edwards in memory of her husband William over 90 years ago. The windows were a classical biblical scene with coloured paper glued between glass sheets. They were cracked and fade. Mrs Nancy Monger, the granddaughter of Jane Edwards expressed the families’ disappointment and shock that the Archbishop supported the new windows, and have disassociated themselves from the church. In 1988 the reconstructed tower was demolished and reconstructed to original 1893 detail. The roof was replaced with long sheets (not as original- short sheets).
