St Johns, Pem might soon be no more...been told it is on the possible closure list. This will be a disaster for Pemberton. It will quickly fall into disrepair and become an eyesore. I got married there, kids christened there and now hubby, two grandsons and sister and brother in law in there plus others of course and where I hope to be when its time. Unless the church can prove itself more useful in the community quite soon, its a done deal. Only just had one of the huge beautiful stained glass windows replaced in 2019 too. Very sad and probably not many Pembertonians know/Building started in 1830, so not that far off 200 yr old. We could do with trying to help save it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_John_the_Divine%27s_Church,_Pemberton
