St John’s Anglican Church at Sorrento was built of local Limestone in 1874. It was used by the Presbyterian and Anglicans for services and other community functions and later, solely by the Anglican’s. The transepts were built in 1889 by George Morse who was the original architect/builder of the church.
The “Prince Consort” stained glass window, made by the Ferguson & Urie stained glass company of North Melbourne, was installed in the South Transept at this time. The window was originally installed in St Paul’s Anglican Church on the corner of Swanston and Flinders street Melbourne which was demolished in 1889 to make way for the new St Paul’s Cathedral. Canon Chase was the original Donor of the stained glass window for St Paul’s and when it was decided that the original stained glass was not applicable for the new Cathedral it was returned to him for his decision to donate it elsewhere as he saw fit. Despite the intimations of the tabloids that it would be installed in the “Working Men’s College”, he eventually chose St John’s Anglican Church at Sorrento where it has resided for the past 125 years. Sorrento, Victoria, Australia.

The land was donated by the Vicar of St Lawrence, Rev. G. W. Sicklemore. There is a war memorial on the village green to those who served and died in the two world wars of the twentieth century.
The RAF station is about half a mile away and served as a fighter station during World War 2, it has also served as a USAF base during the 1950’s and was home to the Air Sea Rescue helicopters of 22 Squadron, it was then a main diversion airfield (1 of the longest runways in the country) then for a little while was a civilian airfield but that closed. It has now after years of standing still, been used as a lorry park, a Covid 19 test centre and now there are plans to turn it into an air freight hub.

«¿Dónde estará mi vida, la que pudo haber sido y no fue, la venturosa o la de triste horror, esa otra cosa que pudo ser la espada o el escudo y que no fue? ¿Dónde estará el perdido antepasado persa o el noruego, dónde el azar de no quedarme ciego, dónde el ancla y el mar, dónde el olvido de ser quien soy? ¿Dónde estará la pura noche que al rudo labrador confía el iletrado y laborioso día, según lo quiere la literatura? Pienso también en esa compañera que me esperaba, y que tal vez me espera. » (Lo Perdido, Jorge Luis Borges).

I bought these Roebucks at Sears sometime around 1980. After 40 years of yardwork and countless handyman projects, it's finally time to retire them. This is my tribute to a great pair of boots.
