Statement of Significance

The place demonstrates a way of life.

Physical Description

The grey cement brick construction has a painted corrugated iron roof. The gable roof is replicated on the entry porch at the front of the church. External piers alternate along the sides of the building with rectangular stained glass windows.

History

The church was opened on 26 July 1953, by the Archbishop of Perth, Prendiville. The Hyden Church was constructed to the same plan and design as the Kulin and Dudinin churches within the overall plan of the Kulin-Kondinin Parish. They were all consecrated on the same weekend in 1953. The cement bricks were all made by the local men, mixing and moulding the cement. The community men did as much work as possible, with the builders completing the task.
