Camden Council

St John's Camden is an Anglican Church. The church was built in the 1840’s and then consecrated by Bishop Broughton in June 1849. The now iconic local brick building comprises the western tower with needle spire 38.7m high, nave and chancel. The window stone tracery and the floor flagging were cut from a local quarry. The cusped hammerbeam roof trusses were cut from local ironbark trees.

The Church has many fine dedicated stained glass windows, those earlier are from England, and include two remaining of the original design; later windows are of local design. The organ and choir gallery was built to the design of Blacket in 1861, the Organ was made c. 1860 by Bates and Son in London. The Clock and Bells were dedicated in 1897 as a gift from Elizabeth Macarthur-Onslow. The chiming clock was made by Gillett and Johnston of London; originally hand wound but now automatically wound by electric motors. The Peal of 8 bells, the largest weighing 710 kg was made by Mears and Stainbanks of London.

The group of Columbarium walls includes a memorial garden dedicated in 1964. The historic Cemetery, now closed, dates from 1844. It includes 900 grave sites and nearly 1900 interments.
