Historical information

The memorial tablet hung in St Hugh's Anglican Church, Jolimont until the church became a Catholic church mid-20th cnetury.

It was probably carved by Mr Frank J. Crockett, a parishioner who made other items for the church including:

- 1986.260 ST HUGH'S BAPTISMAL FONT

- 1986.262 MEMORIAL PLAQUE: FRANK EDWARD CROCKETT
