Statement of Significance

St Bartholemew’s Anglican Church has some local historic and social significance for its role in the religious activities
of the local community since 1959. The church makes an important contribution to the built environment of the
Nabawa townsite.

Physical Description

Centrally located in the town of Nabawa, this simple salmon brick building has a steeply pitched gable roof clad with
green concrete tiles. The building has timber window frames and double timber entry doors to the side of the front
porch. There is a feature brick cross to the gable end, while a cut out cross features to the timber lining of the entry
porch. A metal pole and wire mesh fence marks the street boundary, while a small bell tower is located immediately
inside the fenceline.

History

The first Anglican Church to be built at Nabawa was situated immediately north of the cemetery. The Roman
Catholic Church was also located nearby. Following a cyclone the building was declared unfit for use, the services
being held in the Nabawa Hall until the present church was built. The land on which the church is built was donated
by Mr S.E. Gould. Designed by architects Henderson and Thompson and erected at a cost of 3,680 pounds, the
church was dedicated in December 1959, by His Lordship the Bishop of the North-West, the Right Reverend J.
Frewer. When the Roman Catholic Church fell into disuse another one was built in Nanson.
