DescriptionThis is a copy of an original photograph, maybe taken by Biggingee Sorabjee Poochee, a photographer in Ipswich between 1864-1877. This actual glass plate may have been taken for a Congregational Church publication of 1903. Rev. Thomas Deacon came to live in Ipswich in 1851 as a retired Baptist minister. For about two years he preached in the courthouse which was a small cottage on the corner of Nicholas and Brisbane Streets. The United Congregational Church was formed in 1853 and included Baptists and Independents. Rev. Thomas Deacon was confirmed in the pastorate of this Church. In 1854, he resigned when a younger pastor, Mr Griffith accepted the position. In 1860, Mr Deacon and his family were associated with the foundation of Central Baptist Church.
