The site of All Saviours Church has considerable historic significance as not only the first church in Jurien but as one of the first three buildings in the town. It has further significance for its association with the Right Honourable Mrs Mary Lindsay.
Site only, located on Old Church Lane which runs north off Lindsay Street.
The Right Honourable Mrs Mary Lindsay first arrived in the district in 1925 and, interested in Jurien Bay, purchased land in the vicinity. In 1932 Mrs Lindsay organised the construction of a small limestone, asbestos, sand floor church which was named “All Saviours Church”. It was built with assistance from 20 pounds given by Queen Mary. The church, which was approximately 4m x 6m in size, was one of the first three buildings in Jurien Bay. The others were Mrs Lindsay’s house and adjacent shed. The church was destroyed by the army in 1942 as it was considered to be a landmark for potential invading Japanese troops or for Japanese submarines.
