Church Photos
The aim of this project is to get a photo of every church in Tasmania, with a very broad definition of "church". Some of these photos
have been taken from the window of a car in passing. Some of these have been taken when was I able to walk through the building and take my time over composing photos. Most of them are somewhere in between :)
I am working through an eleven year backlog of photos (currently up to 2009), trying to add some every night.
Cemetery Photos
I also take photos of headstones around churches and cemeteries, because they're interesting. There is no attempt to provide photos of all headstones in any cemetery I visit because there are other sites that do that better page . If there only a small number of headstones, I'll try to take photos of all of them but otherwise it's just whatever catches my attention. I was including transcriptions in the posts, but I found it was taking too much time (hours for each post) and I'd rather put that time into putting up church photos.
(Although I'm happy to include transcription that might be useful or of interest to someone else. I just don't want to spend hours doing it for no purpose. So if you're interested in what a particular stone or two says, ask and I'll see if I can read it on the larger original. Although note the comment about comments above. The spam filters have sharp teeth.)

December 11, 2019 at 11:50pmDear Monissa,
I was delighted to find this photo on your web site. The chapel was designed by my mother, Dr. Edith Emery, somewhere around 1960, built for Jane Franklin Hall in South Hobart, and later moved to Baden. It no longer exists. You posted it in 8 April 2015 — can I assume that your photograph would have been recent on that date?
Regards
MIke Emery

The file says “Last modifeid 16 July 2000”. That’s probably close to when it was taken.

September 6, 2021 at 1:39pmGood evening Mike,
Do you per chance have any further information on the old St Mary’s Church at Baden?
Would love to chat.
Cheers.
Chris.
