Woodwork

 St. John the Evangelist Anglican Church is just down the street from Knox. The current church dates to 1891, and it is the product of a union between two churches, Grace Church, which built this place, and St. John the Evangelist, which had a location up on Sussex Drive that burned down in the early twentieth century. The outer walls are of brick.


But the interior sanctuary is wood.


Here we have a baptismal font.


The wood has a dramatic effect, particularly with the stained glass.


This large nativity caught my eye.


Here we look back towards the west entrance.


And to the south. 


Inside the chancel, I took more shots.

  1. This church seems relatively small compared to the last one. I notice that they don't have the traditional wooden pews at this one. The stained glass is beautiful.
