St Stephen's Anglican Church, Richmond

"For providing such a wonderful playing environment for our concerts ..." Rod Tasker - Treasurer

"St Stephen's Anglican Church is Melbourne's oldest blue stone church. Work commenced in 1849 and it opened for worship in 1851. It has been an integral part of the Richmond community since, instrumental in many events and ventures across what is now the City of Yarra. Mindful of the needs of the poor of the city, it helped run the Richmond Dispensary with the Catholic Church in the late 1860s (unheard of!) and continues today with other Churches to run a Food Centre. A major change of focus in the 1980s saw the Church becoming involved heavily in the Arts Community, hosting concerts, exhibitions and performances. St Stephen's is pleased to continue this association with the Arts, and is very pleased to be a patron of the Classic Guitar Society of Victoria." The Reverend Dennis Webster.
