Statement of Significance

The All Saints Anglican Church has considerable historic and social significance for its association with the religious activities of the local community. Furthermore the unusual design of the church, including the separate steeply pitched hipped roof, the small tower, entry porch, and the construction materials, contributes significantly to the moonscape.

Physical Description

The All Saints Anglican Church is a small building of unusual design located on the comer of Coronation and Mary Streets. The walls of the church are of rendered cement brick construction to a height of approximately 2 metres with fibro sheeting above. The walls, which are painted cream, are supported by several small buttresses. The church has a steeply pitched corrugated iron hipped roof, painted red, with a separate gable to the east end. At the centre of the main section of roof is a small steeply pitched tower with vents to all four sides and a metal cross to the top. There is an entry porch to the North West corner which is enhanced by a separate gable roof with decorative timber barge boarding and a small timber cross at the apex. The building has timber framed casement windows with small panes. The church is surrounded by a metal post and wire mesh fence.

History

The All Saints Anglican Church was built in 1924. The foundation stone reads: “This stone was laid to the Glory of God by His Grace the Archbishop of Perth, C.O.L. Riley, D.D.L.L.D., O.B.E. V.D. 26th October, 1924.” The Diocese of Perth ceased services in this church in Dec 2008.
