St. John in the Wilderness
St John in the Wilderness Church — a stunning example of Victorian Rustic Gothic architecture, built with stone face work, quoining, pointed arch windows, a high-pitched roof, and a charming timber porch. Almost single-handedly constructed by Mr. A.E. Woodruff, a student of St Paul’s College, Burgh near Lincoln, England, and lay-assistant to Canon O.E. Groser, the second Rector of Beverley, the church was consecrated on May 22, 1895, by the Rt. Rev. C.O.L. Riley, 3rd Bishop (later Archbishop) of Perth.
To this day, the church continues to serve the local community, holding monthly services, baptisms, and weddings, as well as offering Holy Communion throughout the year with the priest, Revd. Phillip Raymont.
This shot is one of two panoramas I captured from the same angle that night. I’m usually not a fan of front profiles, but the side of the building felt a bit less compelling. Plus, the other composition (which I’ll be processing soon) really only worked with a front-facing view.
That said… I’m not 100% sure if this is actually St John in the Wilderness (Google Maps says so), or if it’s another, slightly more attractive building at the back of the location that looks even more like a church. Maybe some local photographers can confirm!
It’s a fantastic spot for astrophotography, though you’ll have to contend with a bit of traffic going up and down the hill in the early evening. This particular image is an 8x6 shot panorama — can’t wait to share the other one soon!
