RECTORY RESTORATION
St John's Rectory has undergone major restoration, including roof
replacement. The work has had to be in accordance with Heritage standards.
A St John's Restoration Fund has been established under the aegis of the
National Trust. Donations of over $2 to the fund will be tax-deductible
The official launch was held on Friday 23rd July
Note that, although the work is approaching completion, we have
had to borrow $20,000 to do this. Further tax-deductible
donations will help to repay this loan and replenish the capital fund
