St Johns Church and Kings Square

Considered by many to be the true heart of Fremantle. The grey, stone walls of the church have stood since 1882, while the smooth flagstones surrounding the church were brought to Fremantle as ship's ballast.

The design of St Johns Church is a mixture of early English and Gothic Style architecture. Its high ceiling is lined throughout with stained arched jarrah beams and with the exception of the centre aisle of the Nave and the entrance porch, which is tiled; the floors are also covered with jarrah boards. Many windows contain coloured glass from an earlier church on the site.

The bell turret was added in 1906 or early 1907.
