St Johns Anglican Church Precinct

St Johns Anglican Church Precinct, also known as St John's Camden, is a heritage-listed Anglican church and associated precinct at 6-22 Menangle Road, Camden, Camden Council, New South Wales, Australia. The precinct comprises the church, rectory, cemetery, two church halls and grounds that provide a rural landscaped environment to the group. The dominant feature of the precinct is the historic St John's the Evangelist Anglican Church. Its architects are unknown, and could be the cumulative work of Mortimer Lewis, John Cunningham and Edmund Blacket.: 4  It was built from 1840 to 1849 with Richard Basden responsible for the nave and John Le Fevre adding the spire.: 4  1874 saw the addition of the chancel and vestry, their builder is unknown and the design is likely the work of Sir George Gilbert Scott and Blacket.: 4–5  A feature of the church is an organ manufactured by J. Bates & Son, London. The Anglican Church Property Trust of the Diocese of Sydney holds the property in trust, under the Anglican Church of Australia Trust Property Act 1917 (NSW). The precinct was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 24 August 2018.St John's Anglican Church and its precinct are one of the most complete parish church groups in New South Wales.: 44  All the land and a lot of the buildings were gifted by the Macarthur family or their family company.: 4 : 14, 33  The present day boundaries are at least 8 hectares (20 acres) less than their maximum extent.: 33–34  In early 2016, the rectory was first leased and in 2018 it was reported that the local Anglican parish council sought to sell around 60 percent of the current precinct for development as an aged care facility to fund the construction of a new worship centre near the existing St John's Church.
