By 1824 Launceston had become the base for whalers, whose stations were at Encounter Bay, and Portland Bay, and for the men stripping wattle bark at Westernport. It had been intended that St John's should be a replica of St. David's Hobart Town, but its size was arbitrarily reduced to what was considered adequate for the smaller settlement thus adversely affecting its proportions.During the 20th century the appearance of the church, both within and without, has been considerably altered.
